Analyze the soil before you even get going with working in the garden. Soil analysis costs a little money, but the report can let you know how to enrich your soil and open the door to a lush garden. Supportive Extension divisions often offer this testing service. It is a worthwhile effort so the garden can be productive on the first year of growing.
