Of Dung and good Earth, for your Plants and Trees.

ANd when as ye would replant or set, ye must have of good fat Earth or Dung, well mingled with a part of the same earth whereas ye tooke your plants out of, with all the upper crests of the earth, as thicke as ye can have it: the said earth which ye shall put about the rootes, must not be put too nigh the roots, for doubt of the dung being laid too nigh, which will put the said rootes in a heate, but let it be well mingled with the other earth, and well tempered in the holes, and the smallest and slenderest Cions that turnes up among those Rootes, ye may plant there very well.
