 Item

Scope and Contents

B/W - Sound - 16 mm - 00:16:00 Sets forth, in light vein, the essentials of food gardening; selection of the site, preparation of the soil, how to lay out a garden, planting, transplanting, cultivating, weed and pest control, and proper watering. A "dream" sequence shows, by stop motion photography, how plants grow. The picture closes with a series of humorous "DON'TS" designed to bring home, through exaggeration, the many pitfalls that might mar... the success of an amateur gardener.
