ANSWERS FROM THE QUESTION BOX
T.C.M.. Waikato, writes that his spinach is turning: a sickly colour and going to seed. What is the cause? Answer: Probably you sowed this variety too early and it became stunted in growth. Cut off the seed heads and apply Sulphate of Ammonia, lioz a gallon every seven days. This is a good time to make further sowings. Mrs. G. F., Opotiki, asks: What will she. manure her daffodils with and when and where to plant? Answer: From your letter I think that the position they are now planted in is too dry, and probably not deep enough worked. When completely dried off lift and thoroughly dry and store away until March. Prepare a special bed in a more shaded position and incorporate plenty of rotted animal manure in the soil; failing this, Bonedust.
