Preparing the site

After picking up the right site, most of the time, the place would not be conducive to starting the garden immediately. You need to perform a few more tasks, to bring it to that condition.

Remove the stones, litter, sticks and general trash. Make sure there is no plastic waste.

Remove weeds or dead plants, if any. If there are any plants which are growing rapidly and you do not need them, remove them.

If the soil is very dry, plow it and water it till it becomes, fit for cultivation. If it is not working out, add soil from other fertile areas and add a layer of organic manure. Rotten manure, leaves, grass clipping and compost can be added to the soil.

Use rock, stick or stake to mark the corners of your site. Dig the land and till it or run a tiller over the plot. This would break up all the chunks of the earth.

Using a rake, remove the unbreakable chunks.
