Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

Hello Amy, I have a few questions for you... #1 I would like to know if the North East side of my home that gets plenty of sun would be an ideal place to till up a vegetable/flower garden? #2 Also, I am very concerned about crop rotation, and all of the issues of depleting the soil, and diseases staying in the soil. Anyway, I read something about adding a solution of bleach to water and spraying the garden area to kill any diseases in the soil. Is this considered a natural/organic method? If not, do you have any ideas as to how I can, when the time comes next year, to keep from being concerned about crop rotation and the problems there are when it is done incorrectly. I look forward to reading your response. Thank you, Tracy Burton, Texas

Tracy,Yes a full sun area is a good place to install a garden, when you till the soil don't forget to till in compost and fertilizer to give the plants a good healthy soil to start in. When rotating crops it is always good to till the left over plant matter into the soil to give back the organic matter that was lost in the growing season. I would not recommend spraying bleach on any soil, instead every year mix compost into the soil to build the health of the soil. If you have any other questions please let me know.
