I. Find a rock quarry near you and have dumptruck loads of siltation
pond fines, AKA rock dust, (free for the hauling), brought in, dumped
and spread over the area to become a garden. Mix compost, manure,
spoiled hay, rock phosphate, NJ greensand, and other soil amendments
into the powdered rock .......... instant garden!

II. Best to excavate garden bed areas and remove any poor soil/hardpan
before adding rock dust and other amendments; use this material to form
berms or swales to control or direct drainage; this might be done
around the garden to bring rainfall into it.
