Message: [QUOTE="Tyler2Rings, post: 3499541, member: 6556"] I'm a gardening noob. But I would love to be able to supply or at least significantly supplement my veggie intake someday. For this year, I have a raised bed in progress. 10'x4'. I didn't build it until mid-March, and since then I've been trying to build a healthy soil bed. Small bits of sticks, leaves and straw, food compost, and manure. That's whatwe have so far. I water it daily and I rotate between covering it and leaving it open. Hoping it is ready for topsoil in mid-late April. I also have a small bed at ground level. I am tilling it row by row, as I plant. Today I planted spinach. I will be happy with whatever it gives me. I'm looking at this year as more of a soil- building year than anything. [/QUOTE]
