Excerpt from How to Make and Manage a Garden
Many words are not necessary in introducing this work to the public. The title itself will suggest its scope, and I leave it entirely in the hands of readers to judge of its merits.
One matter which I deem to merit reiteration, although it will be found many times in the book, is the advice to dig deeply and cultivate thoroughly. The one great thing in dealing with soil is to dig deeply. Only by this means can the full dividend be got from the outlay of labour. It may be stated as an absolute fact that no scientist and no cultivator can realise what power there is in the soil. Where-ever deep digging is properly practised it invariably produces not only good but excellent results, such as will bear the strictest investigation as to finance.
It may be repeated here, for it needs to be well driven home, that there is no unfertile land. Those lands which at present are looked upon with great disfavour are rich in fertility, and it requires merely plenty of intelligent labour to be expended to improve them.
