I made an organic raised planter garden so you don't have to bend over as much....

[DjKehmist]

Agreed, Fuck Monsanto!

[hotdoggy7]

how bout trying NO-till.

how bout building soil instead?

simply get organic materials (from your neighbours) like food scraps, egg shells, newspapers, chicken bones....

This will decompose (as it has done in nature for billions of years)

Then you will have top soil.

Get some chickens too, because they will aerate the soils as they look for worms. and ad valuable nutrients in their poops and also lay eggs for you....yum yum yum

Then layer some cardboard on top and cover with wood chip

Just regular sand?

What.. are you talking..... about?

[robbb661]

organic matter 6" every fall will aid in the building of your soil...leaves, hay bales, maure in the fall and if you want to speed things up peat moss lasts a long time till that in

technically speaking, sand doesn't "hold" moisture. But fine aggregate does reduce the capacity of the soil to drain.
