THE VALUE OF GREEN REFUSE.
Lawn cuttings, soft green refuse, and pieces of turf should be collected, and either dug into some vacant part of the garden or mixed with good horse, cow or pig manure. In this way the valuable organic matter in these substances is made use of to increase the supply of humus in the soil; the manure supply is also increased if the refuse is mixed with the manure heap. Diseased tissues are to be carefully removed and burned, or else buried deeply in some vacant soil in order to prevent the germ or spores of disease attacking other plants ill the garden.
