Its a beautiful day, and this is suddenly giving me the idea that I should finally get around to starting that garden in my backyard. I'd go with the square foot gardening approach, although I've never actually done that before.
I'm thinking I should get some 1x12 boards, and arrange them so I have two 4'x8' raised beds. But, then I gotta get some soil in there that is suitable for growing things that I'm going to eat. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Is there any soil company I can call that would deliver soil already suitable for growing? I'm guessing not. What's the best way to jump-start this without having to wait a year or more for the soil to improve on its own?
