ive got a patch of lawn that i want to make into a veg plot so i am looking
for web sites that will give me hints tips and ways of going about things to
get the best out of it...it is about 12 ft square and the soil under the
lawn is stony and looks very dry and dusty

You could make a start by taking the turf from the area and stacking it
to begin composting. Then dress the soil with well matured stable or
farmyard manure and let that bio-degrade into the surface over the
coming winter. Don't make potatoes your first crop in fresh ground, but
you could begin with some cabbages, onions, beans and salad goods.

You may find some useful information in the urg FAQ on vegetables at:
