This is my first real effort at a vegetable garden. Last year's effort was basically to dig holes, throw things in, and hope for the best. The "garden" produced lots of weeds and little else of note. By way of contrast, I've been preparing this year's effort since late Fall by tilling, adding lime, tilling, adding Miracle Grow soil, tilling, adding manure, tilling one last time to thoroughly mix everything, hoeing and hilling the rows, covering the rows with weed-resistant material, putting putting red mulch between them, and adding a border. The effort may still fail, but at least I'll be failing in style!

FYI, careful with that bark, it can hide lots of nasties including fleas, and some places apparently have in the past put in hulls of cocoa beans... I'm sure you know that is a puppy problem. also they tend to be pretty splintery. here at Casa KK, gardening is almost always done barefoot, and quite often even more ummmm bare. those iddybiddy splinters are a bitch!
