Sufficient Water For One:
Soak the gammon overnight in cold water, unless
mild cured when several hours will be sufficient water for one. If
sweet cured, no soaking is required. Put into a pan
of fresh cold water, bring the water to the boil,
lower the heat and allow the water to simmer
steadily, making sure the bacon is completely
covered during cooking.Use medium-sized, flat-bottomed dish, enamel pan, old aquarium, or low aquarium jar. One egg mass in container sufficient water for one, since eggs need room in which to hatch. Water should be cool; protect from freezing and overheating. Eggs must be well covered by water, except eggs laid on surface, such as those of bull frog, which must be placed in shallow water. Pond water is best; otherwise, use tap water if free of chlorine and other chemicals. Let container of tap water stand overnight to reach room temperature and evaporate chemicals. Change water every 2-3 days or add to it to make up for evaporation loss.
As with lawns anywhere, when water is needed give sufficient water for one to penetrate to a depth of at least six inches, then no more for several days, perhaps four or five in hot weather in areas where tree roots abound. The water should be applied in the form of a fine spray.
