HUTT, Landscape Architect Graduate in Landscaping U. of C., American School of Landscape Architecture and Gardening. Member National Landscape Service. Trenching is perhaps the most thorough method of preparing the soil for a garden and while there is more than one way of doing this work the following has been found to be very satis factory. First remove the top soil to a depth of a foot over a strip three feet wide at one end of the ground to be trenched placing the top soil in a pile off to one side, then with a pick or shovel loosen the subsoil to a depth of approximately a foot. Spread a layer of well rotted manure three or four inches thick on top of the loosened subsoil. Measure back three feet from the line of the first piece trenched. Remove the top soil to a depth of one foot placing it on top of the man ure in the first trench. Loosen sub-soil in trench No. 2 and put on layer of manure and measure off trench No. 3. Continue this process until the whole area has been gone over, then wheel or carry the top soil removed from the first trench and put on top of manure in last trench. This trenching operation is very thor ough, promotes air curculation through the soil, provides sur face and subsoil drainage and fertilizes the soil in one opera tion. When clay is encountered, par ticularly if it be very stiff it is advisable to add a layer of sand or put on a much heavier appli cation of manure, this will make the clay easier to work. Most clays are very adhesive and mois ture retaining and flowers and shrubs cannot be successfully grown on soil full of water. A good way to ascertain whether the soil retains the wat er for too long a period is to dig a hole during or immediately fol lowing a heavy rain. If the wat er stands in the hole for several days some means of draining the water off is essential for a suc cessful garden. In case drainage is found necessary tile drains should be put down ten to fifteen feet apart, the trenches should be about three feet deep with a fall of at least six inches to every hundred feet, three or four inch tile should be laid with the joints slightly open to allow the water to seep through into the drain. Another method, while not quite so satisfactory, will be found to be somewhat less ex pensive if a supply of stones be available, is to dig a trench a- bout the same depth as for tile drains, fiill it up to about a depth of one foot, place a cedar board about the same width as the trench over the stones, cover with the subsoil and lastly with the good soil. After the trenching and drain age work is completed the soil is ready to receive the shrubs and plants. The next article will tell you something about planting.
