Title: Re: [Livingontheland] growing even more food including her
Have you tried mulching? Can you make your own compost?
A good strategy when you move to a new place is to look around
the area and find the good gardeners, especially the ones that are
growing what you'd like to grow. Look at what they're growing, and ask
lots of questions. Often they have good gardens because they've been
improving their soil for years, but they might be able to give you
good tips on where to start and where to go to find resources in the
area.

I am fairly new to this group but have been lurking
for awhile. I have learned a lot but still have a couple questions. I
am in KY - (originally from Ohio where we have real dirt) Here
there is clay and sand. Last year my garden was a total flop. Partly
from the soil but mainly from the weeds.
I am amazed being a city girl that weeds just seems to appear
overnight here. The area where we chose to put our house had been
grown up for many years after my husbands Grandfather's house burnt
down. We have tried to maintain this aggressive growth but just cannot
seem to do so. I can't even have a flower bed here. Suggestions?
