WATER AND WEED 
CONTROL 
Weeds waste both water and the plant 
food that you put into your garden. Weed 
control can be simplified by chemical weed 
killing BEFORE planting and by maintaining 
a mulch of peat, sawdust, or lawn clippings on 
the surface of the garden. Marginal weeds 
that crowd against plants can be kept out by 
routine hand work. Light raking of the ground 
after rain or irrigation maintains a dust mulch 
and keeps weeds down. Above all: Keep 
weeds from maturing seed. 
GROUND WATERING in trenches, or with 
soil soakers gets water into the ground in 
vegetable and flower beds. SPRINKLING is 
the most effective lawn watering. Check with 
a trowel in the ground and see that irrigation 
is deep enough to serve plant roots instead 
of mostly evaporating from ‘the surface. 
Where lawn or other planting is under trees, 
drive holes and give water enough for BOTH 
tree roots and for plants—also fertilize for 
BOTH. Don’t water with sprinkler during 
full sunlight, except on lawn. Moisture on 
foliage in full sun tends to burn. Ground 
watering can be done at any time.
