Tonya's Edible garden

Garden Type: Vegetable | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Clay I'm Organic!

I started this vegie garden in August 2007. The soil was very poor, very hard dry clay. I initially installed a dripper system and then have been spending a lot of time improving the soil with manure, compost, and water crystals, and mulch. The garden had a few existing fruit trees and a bay tree.
