Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I'm a novice too... Remember a show on about 5 years ago... My problem is
actually a solution to to problems.. The best are in my yard now is about
the texture of a rice patty through june.   I'm thinking of putting some RR
ties to make a perimeter. then fill with topsoil. So I get a garden and dont
have to cut the grass in the low spot.  I hate sinking in 3 inches while I
push the mower.  Will this work?. Do ii need any special drainage?.. Mostly
veggies. Wife prob wants some bulbs, flowers, perennials... she thinks we
still live in South Carolina  HA HA.
