K-State. Now, the reason you
shouldn't use field soft when
you plant a window box is that
field soil is more compacted
than potting soft. Oxygen and
other nutrients might not get
down to where they should be
and may suffocate your bulb
or literally kill it from starva-
tion. When you pick out a soil,
get a good potting soil with a
lot of loam, vermiculite or
pearlite in it. Soft that con-
tains these ingredients is usu-
ally a little lighter than normal
soft and allows for better cir-
culation of air and nutrients
through it.
Placement of your window
box is also a consideration.

boxes require a lot ~ore fre-

garden spot for the simple fact
that they are contained, and,
being such, they dry out
faster• Some places, however,
dry out much faster than oth-
ers. Consider whether or not
there will be any shade for
your box and how much; a
window box placed on the
south or west sides of your
property will dry out a lot

lavishly by the British government.
As they were about to leave they
were asked, "What would you like
to take home?"
"Two hot water faucets," said
one, "so we could have hot water
any time we wished."
They saw the easy side of hot
water - the fancy faucets, not the
hard work and the heat.
Many today would like the

They'd like to have the crown, not
