Small raised bed.
If you break an ordinary garden for one reason or another, it is impossible (for example, you do not have enough space, inappropriate soil, etc. P.), acceptable, if not the best, the option will be raised beds. A bed of traditional width of 3-5 feet will allow you to reach its middle to plant seedlings or weeds weeds, and at the same time not to step on the soil and do not compact it. The seats on the ends will allow you to conveniently get a job and not bend too much, caring for a garden.
Of course, after the manufacture of a raised bed, you can simply fill it with land, however, preliminary preparation will give much the best results. Select a place for the bed (the site is ideal that receives the maximum amount of sunlight) and remove the whole sod from it. After that, dig the soil to a depth of about half a meter. Then fill the bed with a mixture of earth, compost and manure and smooth the surface.
