Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This is much needed information for me to know how to get started with my garden.
My daughter has this crazy idea of growing our own veggie garden, this was truly helpful.
We live in Flour Bluff and rather soil is sand. How do you prep sand?
Add organic matter! Our Nature’s Blend compost is absolutely the best, 1 bag per 12 square feet of bed area. It contains lots of nutrient which it releases slowly as the plants need it, and it helps hold moisture in the root zone. You will need to add more each season, as organic matter goes away, but at a lesser rate than the initial prep.
Great tips & examples of how, what, & when to prep, plant, .& maintain a garden! Bravo
