NEW: GARDENING TIPS • VERNONIA GROWN
Proper garden soil means sand, day and humus
by Bill Hansen
I always chuckle to myself when
someone refers to soil as “dirt”. Soil
is not dirt and it really isn’t dirty,
either. Gardeners refer to their hands
and clothes as “soiled”, rather than
dirty. Soil is actually the top few
inches of the surface of your garden,
the place where the magic of
gardening occurs.
* Ideally, “soil” should consist of
three basic ingredients in somewhat
equal proportions. These are sand,
clay and humus. Each is very
important to the success of your
garden.
ST. MARY'S CATHOLIC CHURCH
His Excellency, Cornelius M.
Power D.D., Archbishop of western
Oregon will visit St. Mary Catholic
Church on Holy Thursday, April 16
for the celebration of Holy Mass at
7:30 pm. A potluck dinner'honoring
Archbishop Power will be held
before this service, at 6 pm, at the
Parish Hall.
Scripture readings at Holy
Thursday Mass will focus on the Last
Supper and will open an intensive
three day period of reflection,
devotion and preparation to celebrate
the Resurrection of our Lord on
Easter Sunday.
Good Friday devotions will include
the Way of the Cross, Sermon and
Holy Communion from 2 pm to 3 pm
with confessions from 3 pm to 4 pm.
Evening service at 7:30 will begin
with celebration of our Lord’s
Passion, Liturgy of the Word, Holy
Communion and then close with the
veneration of the Cross.
Holy Saturday confessions will be
held from 11 am to 12.
Easter Sunday celebrations begin
at 10 am with the joyful Service of
Light procession into the church for
the Liturgy of the Word and the
Eucharistic Celebration of the
Resurrection of Our Lord.
The pastor,
Father Jerome
Schmitz, will be at Our Lady of the
Woods, Birkenfeld on Holy Saturday
at 4:30 to hear confessions. He will
celebrate the Easter Vigil Mass there
at 5 pm.
Sand provides necessary drainage
in the garden, allowing the soil to
wariii up quickly after watering or a
rain shower. It also allows you to till
your garden earlier in the spring. Too
much sand, however, will not hold as
much moisture as you may need,
requiring more frequent waterings.
Nutrients will also ‘leech’ out faster.
Clay is the opposite of sand. It
tends to hold too much water for too
long and when it does dry out it
becomes very hard. It is the basic
material in the manufacture of bricks.
Most soil here in Vernonia is
“heavy”, having a large amount of
clay in it. As far as I am concerned,
clay is the most difficult challenge we
face in our gardens in Vernonia. If
holds moisture too late in the spring
and when you try to till if too soon it
FOURSQUARE HAPPENINGS
by Sandy Welch
The men of Vernonia Foursquare
will hold their monthly prayer
breakfast Saturday, April 18 at 8 am

time is open to any man who would
like to join them.
Saturday evening, from 7 pm-9 pm

competition and an evening of great
fun was enjoyed by all ages at the last
gym night which had several spirited
volleybajl games. Anyone desiring to
join the group is welcomed.
To celebrate the victory of our
Risen Lord, a beautiful Easter
Worship Service is planned at If am,
April 19 Following the service, a
potluck dinner will be held in the

invited to join for any or all the
activities.

will set up like a brick when dried. If
you try to spade it too soon, it will dry
so hard that nothing will break it
down for planting. Roots have a
difficult time as well, often resulting
in less than desirable growth. Over
the years I have spread many pickup
loads of sand and gravel on my
garden in an effort to break up the
clay. All that usually happened was
the the whole garden would set up
like concrete! Some say lime will help
break clay down, giving some
elaborate scientific process to support
the theory. I remain unconvinced,
although lime is very important for
other reasons. There is only one
material that will break down clay. It
is HUMUS!
Humus is decayed (or nearly
decayed) organic matter. Humus,

such as compost, must be added or
replenished year after year. Worked
into clay these organic particles will
open the soil to air and water, without
which no plant can survi ve.
Gardening becomes a joy as you
scoop up a handful of freshly tilled
soil, rich in humus, and let it fall
between your fingers. Old time
gardeners had a name for this
condition. They called it “tilth”. The
