1. Rototilled the hard native soil to break it up first
2. Laid out the manure and mulch, grass clippings and “homemade” compost
3. Tilled again
4. Water dirt once a day for a week or two, as needed, to get the dirt working
5. Plant! (Hopefully this will be happening today.)
Email me photos of your newly planted gardens and I will post them for others to see and give inspiration to at agardeninthedesert@gmail.com .
You have done well, couldn’t have done better myself!
Looks great! I can’t wait to see what you plant. I am hoping to have some serious gardening time this weekend. I’m sending you my photos asap.
I just discovered your site and I was wondering what area of town you live in?
I would love to have a garden, mostly for my little ones to learn in, but we have scorpions in our area (south mountain) and that scares me, for their sakes.
Have you or any of your readers dealt with scorpions in your gardens?
