Q5 Fertile soil is the first essential to successful ;arden~ · i
§ ing. The fertility of the soil is largely determined by ‘ 5
I E the following factors, in the order of their importance. g

U g Poorly drained soil is never productive. No 3
‘4Z’ hg matter now rich a soil may be in huwns, plant g
E food, and other fertility factors, if it is E
d only "half-drained" it will produce only "half {
gl a crop". {

Q A soil is "rich" in proportion to the humus  
- E (decayed vegetable matter) it contains. Yumus "
‘ " E is valuable for the following reasons;
3 a. It enables soils to retain the Kind of
_j Z moisture the crops can uso. Soils re-
, f ~ sist drouth in almost direct proportion
’ l 2 to their bunus content.
~ -? { b. lt is the best soil "conditioner". Soils
l I l containing an abundance of hunus are tore
l easily worked, and more of the mineral
. i _ plant foods are in forns tne plants can
. ~ j 1 use.
[ c. lt contains considerable nitrogen, the
Q f nost expensive plant food element. .
i l 5. §lope E

S l Soils steep enough to "wash" during periods of heavy
§ rainfall will soon be depleted of their fertility.
Because less of the rainfall is absorbed, steep soils
‘ ` also withstand less droutn.
