Hi Everybody,
I have found a small space with (I *think*) just regular dirt, etc. I can only use, perhaps, one "row" of this space for vegetables. I am willing to put in whatever will fit (lettuce, broccoli, etc), except anything needing a wide "cage" support, like tomatoes (I already have those in buckets.)
I can protect this area with a border of "garden edging" if needed. The area has been neglected for years, with just regular grass, etc, and I suppose that the soil is compacted, etc.
So my question is... How deep should I till down through this soil (I will be doing it by hand)? I figure that the need is to turn over the grass, etc, and fluff up the soil for veggies to have a good root-pushing environment. I plan on mixing in a bit of manure and blood-n-bone meal to feed it.
So... How deep to till?
Thanks in advance!
