perimental idea of tlie department
of attricuHure. It may have been in
spired by the persistence of grass
that grows up through the cracks
of old brick nnd cement sidewalks.
The garden "pavement" Is really
a mulch mad of concrete blocks, an
extension of the old paper mulch
idea. A mulch covers all the surface
of the soil except the space where
ine crops are grown.
tuner muienrs oi iron, cinders.
elnc and aluminum are being tried.
The experiment still is in its infancy
but in tests so far beans, peas, straw
berries and other small fruits have
grown as well with the permanent
'pavement" mulch as with ordinary
cultivation, i
The concrete mulch consists of
M i-w Ina n t iu I nr)ua u i s r . i i
uiivr mm nine
to 12 ine ho wide, which cover the
grouuo. 'Wim open spaces between
them one and one-half Inches m
width.
The, permanent mulch controls
weeds and conserves moisture. It
also worms the soli earlier in the
spring nnd keeps it warm longer in
the full because the blocks absorb
the heut or the sun. Rain enters the
ground along tlie rows between the
blocks.
The blocks made of cinders ore
covered with asphalt to make them
black, so that they wtll absorb as
much heat as powlblc. and blocks
made of other materials are painted
black for the same purpose. Clown

ment will have no ill effects on
tho soil.
