Default Re: I need some help!!

I don't know too much but what I know is to pick the sunniest spot possible - one that gets almost all day sunlight will ensure you get good vegies and also prepare the soil and mulch helps retain moisture, we use a sugar cane style mulch but it's my DH with the green thumb and we have a very small veggie patch!
Also do a bit of reasearch into planting things together that help reduce pests - ie Tomatoes and Basil go well together plus there is a flower that you can plant with tomatoes but I can't remember their name start with C from memory!

Good luck nothing better then eating food you have grown yourself.
