Sub-irrigation for gardens
"A sub-irrigated garden is not
as much trouble and the vegeta-
ble do not wilt as bad" said Miss
Parker, when she was showing
the Prairieview club women at
Mrs. Willis home March 21st.
how to make tile for a garden 5
feet by 20 feet.
A worn soil that has a rather
tieht sub-soil at a depth of 12 to
14 inches is best adopted to sub-
irrigation In figuring on how
much ground may be wanted,
see that every tile line be laid
level from end to end There
are nineteen frame gardens be-
ing planted this month and 12
new fame gardens being built.
In using subirrigation tile it is
important that all joints be made
tight enough to keep the dirtout;
that water free from sediment
from a water supply, it is well to
consider the minimum require-
ment as one inch deith of water.
It should not be necessary to ap-
ply water moreofteu than once a
week, and usually once every
two week will be often enough.
