To Use the Garden Line
1. Decide where you wish the first row of plants to grow.
2. Push the stick, not having the roll of cord, down into the ground at the end of this imaginary row.
3. With the other stick in hand walk back, unrolling the cord until you reach the other end of the imaginary row of little plants. Try to make this row very straight, as all the other rows will be measured from it.
By the way, this row should be quite near the edge of the bed, so that you will not have to step on the loose “feathery” soil.
4. Drive the other stick down into the earth, drawing the cord tight.
Planting in Drills
1. Prepare the rake to mark the little rows, or drills, for the seed. Have ready three good-sized corks. Stick the middle tooth of the rake half way through one cork.
2. Do the same to the two end teeth.
