Preparing Your Yard for a Garden
Lets say you have a piece of yard that is not being used and you want to turn it into a garden, but the ground is so hard that you have to till the land first. The problem is getting a till. If you are like us, and don't have the money to rent a piece of equipment, then the best option may be to do the work by hand. This is what we did in this video.
Steps to tilling by hand
1: Dig a trench about the depth of a shovel head, and put the dirt on a tarp saving it for later.
2: Loosen the soil and mix in some compost, such as rabbit manure.
3:Cover with dirt from the next trench you dig.
4: Cover your finished trench with a barrier, such as mulch, leaf litter, hay, or straw.
5: Repeat the process on your other trenches until you are done for the day use the dirt from the first trench to cover your last one.
