There has been a renewed interest in home gardening over the last few years. People are discovering how rewarding it can be to grow your own food, not to mention the fact that it is healthier and much more delicious than the produce you buy at the store! But where do you start if you have never gardened before?

The first step in gardening is selecting a location. You will want an area that gets plenty of sunlight, has good drainage, and is relatively flat. Once you have chosen the spot, you will want to work the soil. Using a garden tiller, you will want to break up the soil to a depth of about ten to twelve inches. Then, using the tiller, work some organic material such as compost or aged manure into the soil. This will enrich the garden area and help provide valuable nutrients to your future plants. After you have tilled the soil, water it well and let it sit untouched for a couple of days. This will allow the dirt to settle before you plant.
