10 Tips to Start a Vegetable Garden

Decide Where To Grow Your Vegetables

Choose a spot that gets at least six hours of sun a day and drains well. If poor soil is a problem, consider building a few raised beds you can fill with better topsoil.

As raised beds become more popular, so do the options for making them. You can start with one of the following:

• A kit that includes everything you need;
• A kit made of galvanized steel;
• Lumber or concrete edging blocks.

Your raised bed doesn’t need a bottom. You can add good soil right on top of the ground. Just remove grass and weeds first.
