6. If rocks were edible, I'd be set.

So far, I've had two dump truck loads of topsoil brought in which I used to make the berms for the fruit plants, trees and and to build up the raised rows in the vegetable garden.

I hope to be able to pay more attention to the compost row this coming season. I've had success with compost piles before so I ought to be able to do it again. Just need to keep the pile moist, up to optimum temp and have a proper mix of carbon and nitrogen. In the past, I've supplemented the need for nitrogen by adding diluted urine to the pile.
