Soil Matters

Our soil on our small residential lot is Clay and Rock filled. We've also got quite a bit of Queen Palm roots that have crept into this lawn area over the years, so that just add's to the difficulty of the project.
I've written  about our  new amendments, below. We've got them tilled in at least 6-8" in, probably not ideal, but I can manage to dig in the bed now. Plus the mulch will keep moisture in and slow weed growth until the beds have matured. I've been real careful not to pat down any of the bed-including not stepping all over it! This should really help the irrigation get down deep in the bed, plus add air and circulation.
