Fall spading or plow-mg of gar-l dons is desirable whenever heavy sod is to be turned under or manure or plant debris is to be incorporated with the soil. It is beneficial and saves time in established gardens where the surface is level and not subject i0 washing. In the case of a garden with slop- ing surface likely to suffer serious erosion and leaching, fall spadlng may increase this danger. and result in more injury than benefit. If the soil can be prepared and a cover crop grown before vsintcl" sets in, erosion will be checked. and the soil will be enriched by spading the cover crop under in the spring. Fall spading is especially good for heavy soils since they are broken down by alternate thzixving and freezing.
