Just moved in to this house and there was an existing garden that was pretty boring. I love gardening but I just struggle with what to do about this mess. The soil is very poor. After watering it dries almost to a solid mass. I need help!!!!

Bonjour Monsieur Dupont, thank you for your advice, I can sure use it. At this point it is a little overwhelming so I decided to weed and feed, wait to see what previous owners have planted and next spring move all of the plants to a temporary plot, amend the soild and replant adding my favourites to the existing plants.

Compost, Peat Moss and Vermiculite... It will still be clay-like, but it won't make big chunks (only smaller ones). Turn this into the soil with a tiller machine (you can do it by hand but it's much simpler for your back with the machine).

Once your done, let it stand for the day, water it at night, then till it one more time in the morning the next day... It will reduce the size of the chunks. It will be more workable.

Funny, we gave our gardens the same name!
