Hi all,

First time posting here.

I have a decent size property (about 1/2 acre) but unfortunately I have
many mature shade trees. The only part of my property which is exposed
to more or less full sunlight, it the Northern part of the area, about
120 feet.

I have had good success with individual pots in which I've grown
Habanero peppers, some tomatoes, and some cukes.

But I want to expand this year, and grow more stuff.

Any suggestions? Should I raise a bed, and if so, can I do it on top of
the grass? Or should I have to rent a tiller and till the whole thing?
My soil seems sort of sandy and compact.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Regards,

R
