[QUOTE="Grumps, post: 158021, member: 7209"] How big is the old garden space? If not real big I would suggest starting with two or three 4' wide raised beds (but stay away from treated wood). If a big spot and you want a lot of space for things like corn/squash/berries, I would cut all the vegetation now and cover the area with black plastic landscape fabric. This will help kill whatever is in there now. About a month from now (when a handful of dirt doesn't stay in a clump when you drop it) I would rent/borrow a tiller, till it as deep as you can (18-24") rake it and cover back up for a couple of weeks. You do this to knock down some of the huge bank of weed seeds. Don't think I have enough posts to allow PMs but I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Been gardening for 50+ years and one of my greatest pleasures is providing my grandchildren chemical free veggies and fruit. Biggest mistake I see most folks make when just starting out is being too ambitious. [/QUOTE]
