  • Cartoon 1944 (Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries "Dig For Victory Leaflet No 7) Commentary - "Thanks Mr Middleton. Mr Middleton - Good Afternoon, we all expect vegetables to feed us but we've got to see that we feed them properly too. Suppose we get down to the root of the matter. Plants need food just as much as we do, and it must be in a form they can assimilated. This is where humas comes in. Humas is composed mainly of decayed vegetable matter. By putting humas in the soil plus a few handfuls of chemical fertiliser you make sure that the plant has enough to eat. One of the best sources of humas is the compost heap. It really acts as a sort of canteen for the plants. Simple and cheap its mainly garden waste, its easy to make a compost heap and if you want it in time for next seasons crop now is a good time to start. PLANT - That's right, now is a good time to start." www.cityfarmer.info
