Next spring, I intend to start my first garden. Like a lot of people, we had a garden when I was growing up, but it was left behind as lives got busier. Now that I have a tractor and some acreage, I want to grow something. I have an area about 1/4 acre just begging to grow some food in.
Where I live is mostly sand, so I am going to bring in a few inches of top soil/muck/poo to richen up the soil. I have water nearby, so that should be easy to finish.
My questions for you guys are
1. Tiller versus disc
2. How to irrigate (I would like to use a drip system, but that would have to be removed each year for discing/tilling)
3. Seed dispersment (PVC pipe and funnel, fancy seeder)
4. Any crops that are a gaurenteed disaster for a first time gardner
