Planning a Vegetable Garden - Ground preparation

The first consideration is the ground covering on your anticipated garden site. Bare soil is ideal, but more than likely there will be grass that needs to be removed. Removing sod is a relatively simple task if you use a sharp, rectangular spade to undercut it. If it is a large area, consider renting a sod-cutting machine. Stay away from areas with large trees and shrubs. They rob the soil of nutrients and can be very difficult to remove. Also a site overrun by deep-rooted perennial weeds can be a lot of work, as they are difficult to get rid of and can compete with your vegetables despite your hard work to remove them. Beware of land at the bottom of a hill; it is typically colder and wetter than the slope itself, and could suffer from drainage problems.
