How do I start a garden from scratch?
I recently bought a home in a rural country area with three acres. I want to turn a patch into a vegetable garden. I have done vegetable garden previously in my current home, however it was in a surburban area and I made raised beds with potting soil. How should I go about starting a vegetable garden in solid un tilled ground?

If the plot has not been used for gardening before or in the last say ten years, all you have to do is till it up , lay out the rows and plant. Virgin soil is very productive the first couple of years needing only minimal fertilizer. Spray the area with a good weed killer then wait a couple of weeks and then apply a thin layer of generic fertilizer like 13-13-13 and till.

When I turned over one of the egg trays in the moth trap this morning and saw this, I very nearly danced round the garden! I haven't ever seen one of these before in Lincolnshire so it was totally unexpected. Yes, it's somewhat tatty, but what a beauty!
