Any tips for digging up my little garden and starting over again. Help please.

Just make sure you have the right light, water and add compost to your soil. A good organic fertilizer is great when you are planting and though out the growing season. Read the back for the directions. Good luck and enjoy your garden!

Kelly Emberg​ yup the garden is currently going gangbusters here in Oz. Btw quite the interesting career change for you. I got quite the flashback when I saw your name. :)

You have rich soil. I would die for that top soil. I have the worst rocky clay soil. Every inch of my yard is full of rocks.

That is it! If you have an acre of your garden this meathod will be so expensive that you will abandon gardening!!!

... you're adding worm castings because ...... you want more worms in the garden? I need more chickens in my garden so I'm going to add chicken manure.

[@themodelgardener]

Pete Corp I think I should try that too. ha ha. All kidding aside, worm castings are very beneficial to your garden. Yes it will attract more worms but it is also rich in plant nutrients, trace minerals and growth enhancers and it can significantly increase the microbial life in the root zone. Worm castings have the ability to fight off plant diseases. Hope you try and use some in your garden!
