re: Raised Bed Garden

Do you have access to a feed lot or stockyard in Funroe and a trailer of a good size? If your answer to both is yes, get a few shipments of their finest manure to till into the soil to raise it and to act as a fertilizer in the here and now. That will get you worms for aeration, repeat that next spring when it gets to be planting time. Spread some leaves over the expanse to act as a mulch ingredient. Go to your local nursery and ask for organic fertilizer and dolomite lime when you do this, the lime provides acidity to the right levels for plants to really bloom and abound.
