Hello,
Just finished digging and framing in my garden today. I'll have to get some soil brought in this spring (raised garden) to finish it off. Does any one have any advice for growing veggies in a pretty harsh climate? I am right on the north Atlantic, and the wind blows hard and cold, not to mention rotten "soil" (read:granite and moss with a bit of dirt and clay thrown in). I'm going to fill in my frame with about one foot of soil, and below that I've scraped down to mostly clay. The natural soil is quite acidic.
If anyone has any experience or tips for growing stuff in a less than ideal environment, I'd love to hear them. Thanks.
