Ploughing or mechanical tilling to a good depth is 
your first step in land and in garden preparation, 
whether your place is an old one or is starting from

LARGE PLOTS SPADE SMALLER PLOTS 
Chemical brush killer and weed killer 
treatments should precede ploughing. Then 
the pests will not be coming up through your 
lawn or flower bed later, where they can’t 
be removed without damaging desirable 
plant material. 
Before ploughing or tilling, peat, hard- 
wood sawdust, or barnyard manure or other 
organic material should be spread over the 
surface, to be turned under and worked into 
the texture of the soil. Where raw sawdust 
or similar organic material is used, add 
extra fertilizer to speed decomposition. 
Ploughing is not an annual necessity, but 
SPADING, and TILLING or MULCHING is. 
Spade when soil is dry enough so that a 
handful of it squeezed into a ball and 
dropped from shoulder height will shatter 
easily. If it is too wet—wait. If too dry, put 
the sprinkler on it until it is wet enough to 
work. Dig full spade depth, but don’t take 
to plague you. 
bigger bites than you can handle easily. 
Drop from hip height to shatter, instead of 
beating each spadeful to fragments. It 
saves energy and covers ground faster. 
LEVEL BED WITH RAKE. Pitch excess clods 
into the compost heap to break down into 
compost, or let them dry in a pile and water 
them until they break down easily, or leave 
a trench at one edge of bed to rake clods 
into and smooth top over.
