Early planting and tool care guidance from old notes
The text advises planting potatoes early, improving sewing shears with bent handles and full-length blades, and using screws not rivets. It also mentions pruning red, black, and purple raspberries while dormant, docking and castrating lambs within 7 to 10 days after birth, and removing buckthorn hedges to reduce crown rust in oats.
