- Sowing of Cabbage
Drills are made and manure put in the furrows. The drills are then closed over the manure with plough. The plants are "slude" in the drills with a spade.
When cabbage is sown in a garden this is the method adopted: A furrow is dug with a spade and the earth turned over to the left and levelled.
The plants are laid along this furrow . Farmyard manure is then placed along the furrow. Aother sod is now dug similar to the first covering the manure. A second sod is then turned over on this furrow. The second row of plants is then laid and manured and covered as the first row was done.[Sketch of the 1st row][Sketch of the 1st sod on first row][Sketch of 2nd sod and 2nd row]
