Not to worry. Lee Reich has a great plan for a beautiful garden, complete with arbor and white picket fence, designed for the notive garden. And guess what? No tilling! He starts by laying down wet newspaper to kill the grass in the designated area which in turn becomes a compost.

He offers 11 tips for starting a new garden:

1.Minimize soil disturbance; always try to preserve the nature layering of the soil.
2.Place your vegetable garden as close to your kitchen door as possible.
3.Site your vegetable garden where it will be bathed each day in at least six hours of direct summer sunlight.

For the rest of Lee’s tips, read his entire article: Easy Garden Anyone Can Make.

With every garden – make sure you have plenty of Great Big Plants on hand to energize your plants!
