extension explained the matter to me, so I have
stuck with cherries, which I am very successful at.


My wife makes barrows, long hills of compost and topsoil to grow things in. Instead of digging down, she builds up. I do have a backhoe so I could dig deep trenches, but we don't find that necessary.

One of my customers has horses and a backhoe. Every spring
he empties his stables into his garden and backhoe it under.
On my gosh what he can grow!!!
