If your soil is adobe, use old coarse ma- nure and fine manure in the spring-. Place the fine manure as much in the trenches as possible. Sowing the Seed. After you have the soil well prepared, make a trench six inches deep, sow the seed about two inches apart in the trench, cover two inches. As the vines grow, draw the earth up to them until the ground is level or slightly lower between the rows. Another way: Make two trenches six inches deep, from six and eight inches apart, and the double rows from eighteen inches to two feet apart, making the ground lower between the rows. A Few Hints. Prepare the ground and get the seed in as early as possible. Have the ground moist (not soggy wet) when you sow the seed.
