SEED-SOWING
Importance Of “Good Condition” Soil It is vital that the soil in which early seed is sown should be in prime condition—fine and reasonably firm. To get it so, don’t attempt to work it when it is sticky, or when there is frost or sleet about. Choose that condition which is well expressed by the term “between wet and dry.” It exists when the lumps fall on slight pressure from the foot or a rake. The correct plan with ground previously dug is to fork a foot deep, break down the lumps finely, tread fairly firmly, and rake the surface even. It is then ready for sowing.
