I talked with the landscaper today who is coming to fix my pond and do a little redesign work on it. Will also dig up the putting green and replace with garden space. After all this talk of growing things my husband wants them to dig up a big section of lawn and turn that into a garden for vegies and flowers. I am thinking I want them to just turn the sod over (grass side down) then put the kitchen scraps I have been saving, the paper and such also (I wonder if it would work better if I ran the paper through a shredder first), then compost then a good grade of potting soil. That should raise it up a bit. Then I guess I just plant right into the top. Do you think that would work okay.
