How can I improve my soil? I am looking to get maximum yield per square foot in Vegetables & Fruit.
I have a space of around:
Front Yard: 12 feet x 42 feet
Back Yard: 42 feet x 42 feet
Driveway: 12 feet x 16 feet.
Just about all of this land has a grass type which is hardy but the root system is fragmented among stones. If I dig about 2ft down I hit rock. I am in the food plain of a small stream.
The area which I am in has a chalk geology.
The area has a whole tree root system under the yard. Could this be a problem? Or is it actually a benefit? I did have a couple of trees but had to cut them down because they where to tall and to close to the property. Not to mention blocking out all of the sun to the yard. Kept one tree which is a Apple tree. Don't worry I am building a mansion for the birds at the moment. Give the natives a place to keep warm in winter.
I can get access to multiple types of mulch and any manure I want. I live rural but am also not to far away from the coast so I can get all the seaweed I need.
