Good luck to you. I think it is really the way to go. We shouldn't have to fight our gardens to have healthy productive ones. Easier said than done but worth the effort. The first step hopefully will start soon as the landscapers are coming to remove a lot of grass to put in raised beds for vegies and flowers. Then I have to get the bags of compost/mulch spread out especially in the problem spots. those nasty horsetails are showing up now.
