To grow some vegetables successfully, the gardener must be able to control the conditions in the immediate vicinity of the plants. It is particularly important to control humidity, the effects of wind, and the temperature of the soil and air. Fortunately, there is help available in the form of protective coverings such as hot kaps, mulches and tunnels, which can be used to great advantage in controlling the "microenvironment" of your garden.... Poly Tunnels. These mini-greenhouses can produce excellent results when used in combination with poly mulches. The tunnel should be about. 5 m(18 in.) high and. 6 m(24 in.) wide at its base on the soil surface to enclose the mulch. To construct the wire frame for the tunnel, use [number] 9 galvanized wire. 3, record 6, English, - tunnel

The vegetable garden requires an open and sunny location. Good cultivation and preparation of the ground is important for successful vegetable growing, and it is also desirable to practice a rotation of crops as in farming. The usual period of rotation for vegetables is three years; this also helps to prevent the carryover from season to season of certain pests and diseases. 2, record 8, English, - vegetable%20garden

The modern garden prototype emerged out of a changed conception of what a garden should be.... It is typically small and enclosed by fences or walls, frequently confined to the back of the lot, the front being occupied with garage, guest parking and entry. The entire garden space is divided according to uses and the outdoor areas are connected by doors to the rooms of the house, e. g., kitchen to herbs, vegetables, garbage, and storage, living room to terrace and barbecue. It is used intensively for outdoor recreation, games, sunbathing, swimming, eating and drinking. Privacy is desirable.

Le jardin moderne, que les paysagistes veulent rendre plus "fonctionnel" et mieux adapté aux loisirs, comprend essentiellement une surface gazonnée à peu près ininterrompue. Les allées compliquées ont presque entièrement disparu; seules subsistent, près de l'habitation, des voies d'accès, soulignées par une végétation appropriée. Ailleurs, on circule sur des dallages, sur des passe-pieds mis en évidence par une végétation pittoresque, arbustes aux rameaux divariqués, conifères aux branches étalées, plantes vivaces épanouies surtout au printemps et dont l'ensemble compose un décor aimable, varié et reposant. 2, record 9, French, - jardin%20moderne
