It also sounds "flat". What we did with our 25x25' city back yard was dig a pond and
use the dirt to create raised beds (just for the interest).

the top few inches of the bed was always compost of course, and we mulch to increase
organics.

I really truly have to build the web pages showing the transformation of the raised
beds. sorry. Ingrid

Right now, it's under about 2 inches of water from the 3 inch rainfall
we had over the weekend. With this in mind, raised beds and good
drainage seems the only option and the time and expense involved with
having that ready for spring planting is a little bit of a problem.
