Hi Dawn,
to ATP!
The best advice that I can give is to plant in lots and lots of compost! You really can't use too much of this when it comes to growing veggies. You might grow some food without it, but it's a lot more work. Not only will plants require more watering and grow slower, but their disease resistance will be lower without it.
If you need any assistance finding your way around the forums here, just holler! We'll be happy to lend a hand.
