Sale average on 99 head of commercial open gilts was $166. Garden Should Be Contoured Gardens should be planted across the slope, instead of up and down the slope. According to Duane Pysher, District Con servationist with the USDA Soil Conservation Service, at the Agricultural Center in Bern Township, the ideal way for a better garden on a slope is to have the rows on the contour. When the garden is contoured, Pysher said, water runoff is slowed down because it is stored in the row. Therefore, the soil absorbs more rainwater, has less erosion and is less affected by drought. This pays off in better yields and higher quality vegetables or flowers. To contour your garden, mark a contour line across the slope. It does not require special skill or equipment to set a contour line. A level can be improvised from Pressure-Treated Lumber Wolmanized pressure-treated wood and Outdoor wood have built-in chemical protection that provides resistance to decay and termites. This material has been pressure-impregnated with Koppers Wolman® CCA wood preservative which meets or exceeds federal, state and industry specifications for this type of wood preservative. The chemicals are fixed in the wood and, although toxic to termites and fungi, they are not present in sufficient quantity to be toxic to animals.

An etticient device can be made from an or dinary carpenter’s level mounted on a 2x4. To determine the level line, begin about the center of the slope. Lay the 2x4 along the slope and move one end up and down until the bubble on the level is centered. Mark the spot and repeat the process across the slope to establish your contour guideline. Plant your flowers and/or vegetables parallel to this line. As you cultivate the garden, leave small furrows or ridges to collect and hold the rainwater so it can soak into the soil. “This easy practice is one way to improve your garden and protect the natural resources,” stated Pysher. “Conservation of natural resources is a responsibility of all of us, whether we live on a farm or in town.” imaniz 8982241 394 7277 MAM BO* M ARK f ?
