Oh yeah, gardening talk!!!!!!

Pexeva13 - Dirt is to gardening what ingredients are to cooking; the end result is only as good as what you put in it! I have beautiful black, filthy rich dirt and I've never bought dirt. But we're talking soil amendment through compost enrichment and a good 15 years or more of labor doing it!

Maybe a compromise of 1/2 purchased to 1/2 existing dirt will be agreeable?

I have plenty of space to plant, my problem is sunshine. Most everywhere is only 2 to 4 hours of direct sunlight at best. Lots of tree canopy makes the shade. It's challenging to say the least.
