Tender, Love and Lawn Care | VICTORY GARDEN

Описание: In Episode 101 of GBH's Victory Garden, the very first nationally-televised episode of the show, host Jim Crockett gives viewers a tour of the Victory Garden that was located next to the old GBH studios at 125 Western Ave. in Boston, Massachusetts. He discusses early spring lawn care, planting potatoes, and answers viewer questions.

Viewers will learn and understand the basics of how to achieve lovely lawns by simple methods, how to choose a fertilizer, how much to use of it and how to apply it, dethatching, seeding bare spots, liming and getting rid of weeds once and for all! Jim plants the first of his potato patches and demonstrates the three different methods which can be used in planting potatoes. Planting kohlrabi, onion sets, parsley, early peas, edible pea pods, rachis, spinach, turnips, peppers and tomatoes is also covered.
