CHAPTER I

On the Situation, Soil, Fencing, and Laying out of Gardens

SITUATION

Those who have gardens already formed and planted, have, of course, not the situation to choose. But, I am to suppose, that new gardens will, in a country like this, be continually to be formed; and, therefore, it is an essential part of my duty to point out what situations are best, as well with respect to the aspect as to the other circumstances.

The ground should be as nearly on a level as possible; because, if the slope be considerable, the heavy rains do great injury, by washing away the soil.

However, it is not always in our power to choose a level spot; but, if there be a slope in the ground, it ought, if possible, to be towards the South. For, though such a direction adds to the heat in summer, this is more than counterbalanced by the earliness which it causes in the spring.

By all means avoid an inclination towards the North, or West, and towards any of the points between North and West. After all, it may not be in our power to have a level spot, nor even a spot nearly level; and then we must do our best with what we have.

I am speaking here solely of a Kitchen garden. Of ornamental Gardening I shall speak a little in the Chapter on Flowers. From a Kitchen garden all large trees ought to be kept at a distance of thirty or forty yards.

For, the shade of them is injurious, and their roots a great deal more injurious, to every plant growing within the influence of those roots. It is a common but very erroneous notion, in England, that the trees, which grow in the hedges that divide the fields, do injury by their shade only.

I had a field of transplanted Rutabaga, in the hedge on the North West side of which there were five large spreading oak trees, at some distance from each other. Opposite each of these trees, which could not shade the Rutabaga much, there was a piece of the Rutabaga, in nearly a semi circular form, in which the plants never grew to any size, though those in all the rest of the field were so fine as to draw people from a great distance to look at them.
