Candt the best thing to do to begin with is measure how much sun your are getting in that area, then add 1 more hour to compensate for loosing daylight at approx 1-2 mins per day.

You don't necessarily have to clean out the soil but rather ammend it with peatmoss, Home Depot has the best prices and best peat.

How big is the area you would like to plant? Do a little planning now to save yourself time and trouble later.Get a few details and get back to us for more in the way of ideas.......Kathy
