for the folks from soddy daisy & rutledge, tn - how did your gardens turn out this past year? i have slope also (full sun) and rocky, clay under a few inches of topsoil. (had a fair to middlin garden last year - okra & field peas did best.)
i have added compost & tilled in, but am hoping to do better this year by a combination of terracing & lasagna gardening. (don't think i can afford enough topsoil to go totally raised bed).
has anyone tried this? i hope it will help with the water runoff problem of last year.
would appreciate any suggestion on the terracing. thank you.
