Hi im new here and i have a question this is my very first vegi garden and i picked out a spot where it is sunny all day. Now with it being october should i rototill the area now or wait till the spring i would imagine now but not possitive and does putting leaves over the area and re-rototilling really help? Thanks! -Dom

yes to both in fact if you til now you can see what condition your soil is in so you know if you need to amend it with anything before spring depending on what your going to grow

Tilling now and mulching the area heavily will give you a good start on spring. I do not think you can make your soil too "good" for veggies

I suggest if you can mulch it as well, so that you don't loose all that good soil. Use something like soiled lucrene; not sure what you;ve got there. Maybe you have compost easily available.
