In a previous post, I showed a great resource for building raised gardens. The author of that fabulous article has also written about a very important issue – soil.

If you do nothing else, you should follow the advice in the below article to the letter. You will reap the benefits if you first get the soil just right for your veggies.

Here’s a short quote from it: -

“One of the most important aspects of gardening is the soil in which you grow your plants. No matter what else you do—buy high quality seeds, fertilize, water, prune—your garden will never be everything it can be if the soil isn’t right. Often, a bad garden has a lot less to do with the amount of watering or brand of seeds or starter plants and much more to do with the dirt.”
