Gardening Notes for May From a Local Almanac
May gardening tips include loosening soil between rows to aerate and suppress weeds, thinning root vegetables, and lightly crusting carrot beds with a rake. Beginners should fertilize half grown cauliflowers and cabbages with sulphate of ammonia every 4 to 6 weeks, and apply fertilizer under the leaf spread before watering thoroughly. Watch for insect pests and treat with arsenate or lead solutions, and use nicotine sulfate in soapy water to control aphids.
