Excerpt from Gleanings on Horticulture
My borders are composed of old mortar, smashed and whole bones, charcoal, bricks broken about the size of a walnut, chopped turf, rotten dung, and leaf mould, in equal portions. N 0 ¿owers or vegetables should be grown on the borders; and during the heat of summer, they should be forked over, and liquid manure copiously applied every fortnight, as beneficial to the roots, causing pipers (or small fibres), which produce the fruit; and preventing the berries from shanking.
