My husband and I want to grow a garden to cut down on our food bills.
We rent an appartment and the landlord is allowing us to use a section of land for the garden.
We tilled it two weeks ago and the soil has alot of roots in it and seems to contain clay because it clumps and doesn't fall apart easily.
The area of the garden is @ 12 X 60.
Some people have told us to add sand to the soil to help the drainage put that would cost alot and I wouldn't know how much to add anyways.
I am looking for any suggestions.
