Best day Kete. I pray you and yours are well. I've decided to use raised beds and a lot of weed fabic. This will get me going. This weekend I cut back my bushes, cleared a ton of weeds and began a compost pile. I definitelty will be working on turning my soil into something more hospitable, I understand that this will take some time. Tommorow I'll begin to make my raised beds, something simple and to the point. Too, I'm going to make a simple greenhouse. I definitely want to get a harvest this year, God willing. It is just me working this property, I will give myself and the soil the time we need to make a proper go at it. Thank you so much for this great information. I will research these ideas. Bless you and best night.
