decomposes and makes compost aswell. it's essential with every garden, I dono about your country, but we also suffer from many many droughts, so it's essential to keep the water in. just use lawn clippings you collect when you mow your lawn.

Lawn clippings, good idea.

wow you did great gardening this year...keep those pics coming..

Thanks. I do need some new pics.

loveoscars:I tried carrots and waited the whole summer anticipating a nice big round carrot. I guess I did it wrong, and they were barely an inch thich and 2 inches deep, lol.

I think it's always been clay. If you get a shovel and just try to dig, you could get maybe 9 inches down, lol. But good old tiller does the job for me, lol.

Might have to try. Near the house though I think the people before us put like 50 pounds of gardening soil though. When planting some flowers, I basically just dug witgh my hands. It was perfect soil.
