Lathan Jones Hoke Agricultural Extension News by Willie Feather* tone, Ir. County Extension Chairman REVIEWING THE 1981 VEGE TABLE GARDEN Before the Yuletide season over takes all thoughts on the mind, most home gardeners could pro bably benefit from spending a few moments reviewing the 1981 vege table gardening season. One of the best places to start is with the initial planning of. the garden. Was the best available site used? Did it have sufficient sunlight, good soil, and a water source to insure proper plant growth? If the water source was not adequate, the dry periods ex perienced this past season should nave been convincing enough to make sure irrigation is provided next time. Even without a water source, vegetable yields would have probably been higher if some type of mulch had been used to conserve the moisture from the rainfall. Another important part of the planning stage should have in cluded the making of a rough diagram of the garden site. The planting chart or diagram should nave been the road map that took each gardener through the entire growing season. Without a planting chart, many planting dates were probably put off or missed altogether. The planting chart would have indicated the amount and kinds of vegetables to be planted, the distance between rows and plants and the time of plant ing. Looking back at this year's garden, ask the following ques tions: Were the right vegetables planted in sufficient quantities for the family's needs? Was the garden area utilized during the entire growing season by making succes sive plantings? Should the rows have been closer together for better space utilization? Has a rotation system for planting the vegetables within the garden site been divised for 1982? Now let's move from the plan ning stage to soil preparation and fertilization. Poor initial soil preparation has headed many vegetable gardens straight to disaster from the very beginning. Being in a hurry to plow the soil ' before it is dry enough to work can mean having "a hard row to hoe" for several seasons to come. Poor stands will also result if the soil is left lumpy with undecayed organic matter. Even if the soil has been prepared in the proper physical condition, proper soil pH of around 6.0 for most vegetables and good fertilization are still needed for adequate plant growth. When was the last soil test taken of the garden site? If the answer is at least three years ago, now would be an excellent time to use the free soil testing service. Soil sample boxes and information sheets are waiting to be picked up at the County Extension office. Insects and diseases can account for many losses in the vegetable garden. What percentage of the vegetables were destroyed by in sects and diseases? Were the losses due to the failure to apply the correct pesticides at timely inter vals, or improper application equipment? Again, free advice in these areas is readily available at the County Extension office. There are many more questions that could be asked to get a better analysis of this past season's home vegetable garden. The time spent now on reviewing the 1981 vege- < table garden's strong and weak points could result in a more bountiful harvest of fresh produce in 1982. Merry Christmas and lots of happy eating of home grown vegetables in the New Year. jjfflonie. ?yrown dfeBooks^ MAGAZINE MADNESS Once again 1 avoid the thought ful choice of a book from an independent publisher to review for you -- and grab up a handful of those strange beasts-of-print, the little magazines. If you've not been with me on one of these grab-bag explorations and don't know about the little maga zines, I'll fill you in briefly. "Hie "little" doesn't refer to the size of the magazine, and there've been a few grotesquely huge. The circula tion is usually small, the print orders being for 300 or 500 or, maybe, 150, rather than the 10,000 or 100,000 of the more usual magazine. Some publisher-editor-jack-o-all -trades produces his own magazine, often as not being the printer as well as the distributor, and it's truly an expression of himself. Twice I've dealt out a poker hand of these magazines in a column for you. Both times, I've tried to point you toward editors you might find somewhat like yourself -- maga zines that give voice to a region and its folk or to people in a particular life style, whatever. This time ... well, let's look at a little magazine madness. You'll find it interesting ... well worth of a few subscription costs. Here's one, for instance. A good fat thing in a pinkish orange cover. The front cover is made up of chunks from ads in old (50 years, 60 years) magazines. Or looks like it. Not even a title. But the back cover tells us it's THE FAULT. That's not self-criticism. The refe rence is to an earthquake fault and the magazine comes out of Union City, California -- 33513 6th Street, 94^87. I don't find a price or subscription rate, but send a couple bucks and stand back from the splash. Inside, a theme for the issue: In the search for a perfect poem. And recognizable poems, prose fragments, and concrete poems disappearing into graphics. Sufficient strangeness to lure the live mind. And here LEANFROG NEWS LETTER. Actually about six of them spill out of my clutching Member NewVxk Stock Exchange, In - Specializing in Stocks. Municipal and Corporate Bonds. Tax Shelters, Options, Annuities & Mutual Funds. Call us collect at (919) 276-7799 or visit our offices at 1 24 Cronly Street. Laurinburg, North Carolina. C. RICHARD BOBBTTT C. RICHARD "DICK" BOBBITT, JR. hand. From Oakland, California. Louis Cuneo editing, the whole thing c/o Alameda County Neigh borhood Arts Program, 1214 Web ster St., 94610. Ah, prices? Seems ... donations ... are in order. Postage and to help underwrite printing. The whole thing is haiku. By American haikuists. Very life ... and a little strange. And here's Pandora a Fetnzine. The title tells you the format is like the fanzines around the science fiction field ... another kind of independent publishing, and strange enough. The format and graphics evoke the comparison. Ads for "Mile High Comics?" and such join with "more and less" feminist lit'ry works. And an actual subscription rate: 4 issues for S3. 50. 1150 St. Paul St., Denver CO 80206. Here's SNOWY EGRET -- out doorsy, solid work, not so strange, maybe, but flavorful, 4 issues, S5.00, 205 S. Ninth St., William burg. KY 40769. And THE UN REALIST (remember Krassner's The Realist?), A Left Literary Magazine. Sinister (left)? But solid work peeking out. Vague on sub scription rates -- but a couple bucks ought to get a copy and directions on where to leave s^nsom: Box 935, Morgantown, WV 26505. Too many even to name for you, but here's, well, NITTY GRITTY (A Survival Tool Chest). I guess we all need such a thing. Strangeness enough. S10 a year -- two issues. 331 W. Bonneville, Pasco, WA 99301. Just go with the madness. In a magazine you'll learn of others (those the editor approves of, and those he'd like to blast out of existence -- and does in his own pages). Good hunting! Gene Fowler The reviewer has been exploring and being published by little magazines for nearly two decades, and lives in Berkeley, CA.
