So excited to start gardening until I learned my garden is made out of rocks (hexbear.net)

I live on a natural hill, or so I thought, until I started digging and hit rock less than six inches in. Between natural rock, discarded bricks, tiles and plastic, I am in hell.

HEY... WHY ARE YOU IN MY GARDEN!

Also... depending on what you're going for, you might want to start working on raised beds.

If you've got the money, undyed wood mulch is pretty solid. It will keep the 6 inches of soil covered and in place around where you plant things and as it breaks down will slowly build up the soil.
