Well, two weeks ago we dug the outline for the garden and rented a tiller yesterday. We put in fertilizer and good dirt (since all we seem to have here in middle tennessee is clay and chalk) and let the tiller mix it all up. It looks nice. It will make it easier now to mix the compost there. Right before we start planting the garlic we think we will till the ground again just to make sure its all mixed up nice and good.

I have a seed starter kit from parks seed. I have started seed without the kit before and it's been fine but I figure since I will be starting a lot of plants at one time I should try the starter kit. We'll see how it goes.

Aurora	Aug 13, 2008 \| 6:52 PM PST What sort of fertilizer did you mix in? I'd let it rest about 2 weeks before tilling again- that way all the weed seeds that were brought to the surface will have germinated ;)
chrispaul97	Aug 26, 2008 \| 6:12 AM PST hmmm, I haven't seen any new germination. So I guess I'm lucky. I was expecting to see some. I just mixed in some kind of miracle grow stuff that had manure in it. Most of what I'm growing likes manure.
