Transplanting a Tree
Moving the tree was easy enough, involving the old routine of slicing a circle into the soil around the roots 70cm (27in) out from the trunk and then digging a moat-like trench around this line to enable the severing with a spade of any roots that had grown straight down. The large ball of roots was then lifted on to a sheet of plastic (step 1).
The Best Results for Your Garden!
There are so many ways to garden, but only a few bring the best results!
Growing Beautiful Ferns
Home gardeners love fern, but if you have no garden, you can still enjoy ferns. They grow as beautifully in the house as in the garden. They originally came from the jungle so they need a moist environment and indirect light. You can grow them in pots, ceramic bowls or in pretty glass containers.

THE Cultivation of Vegetables
Before taking up the plot vegetables individually, I shall outline the broad-spectrum practice of nurturing, which applies to all.
Colonisation and Succession
If a field were to be ploughed up and then left abandoned for many years, the community of organisms living in it would go through a series of changes. at first small annual herbaceous plants would grow, perhaps from weed seeds in the soil, or carried by birds or other animals, or by the wind. these first colonisers would be able to exploit the abandoned soil, through their rapid rate of growth and reproduction, and lack of competition.

The Local Distribution of Plants
Environmental conditions that bear on local plant distribution are considered.
Plant Mineral Requirements
Plants require the element nitrogen for protein synthesis, as well as the formation of nucleic acids, coenzymes, vitamins and chlorophyll. They must therefore take up large quantities of nitrate from the soil, or from the surrounding water in the case of aquatic species. For this reason nitrate is known as a macronutrient. Without sufficient supplies of the mineral, a plant will show poor growth and yellowing of the leaves, a condition called chlorosis.
