My name is Debra. I am a stay at home mom to 4 children whom I homeschool.
This is our first year on property. Our garden space is 50" by 30". We
were considering doing a lasagna garden, but after much calculation feel
that it would cost us a arm and a leg to get it started. So that led me
here.
So many ?????'s
1. Am I going to have to go in debt to start my garden???
2. Do I have to use raised beds?
3. I planted tomatoes from seed about 3 weeks ago, already sprouting up, I
have now heard that I may not get tomatoes from them, was it too late to
plant from seed? I planted 36 peat pots. I sure hope I didn't waste them.
4. I don't have compost on hand, how much do I need to purchase for my
size of garden?
5. Is there a grid that shows how much of each plant you can sow into each
sq ft. ? I am sure it is in the book, but I don't have the book and cant
afford right now to get it. So if there is a web site that has it I would
appreciate knowing how to find it.
6. How do I get started... tilling, do we add anything to soil etc...? We
will be tilling anyway as area is overcome with weeds.

Please I am desperate for advice, I am overwhelmed but we need this
garden. My husband has been out of work for some time now, and is finally
going back on Tuesday. So this garden will be a much needed help for us
and the grocery billl.

Thank you all for you time and expertise.
Blessings,debra
