Explanation:

1

Mow or use a string trimmer to mow down the cover crop, leaving the vegetation on top of the soil. Allow it to dry for a few days, then rototill or dig it into the soil.

2

Rake a 3-inch layer of well-rotted compost over the soil. Rototill or dig the compost into the garden bed to a depth of 12 inches.

3

Allow the soil to rest for a few days, then test it with a home soil test kit or take it to a garden center for testing.

4

Add fertilizer or soil amendments as needed, according to the soil test's results and your landscaping plan. For example, if you're planting acid-loving flowers and shrubs, the soil may need the addition of a high-nitrogen or sulphur fertilizer to increase its acidity.

5

Apply a 3- to 4-inch thick layer of coarse mulch over the entire garden. Pull the mulch back 2 to 4 inches from the stems and trunks of your plants. Mulch helps keep a consistent moisture level in the soil. In addition, as it decomposes, it adds organic matter and nutrients to the soil.

6

Rototill the old mulch and any plant debris into the soil in the fall, avoiding the roots of your newly planted trees and shrubs. Continue to add compost and other amendments to the soil every fall and spring.

Answer:

Whether your house is in a new subdivision or an older neigh borhood, you may be challenged by an infertile soil. Heavy clay, sandy soil, a rock - filled landscape or compacted subsoils all affect your ability to plant a new garden.
