Garden guidelines for Ruth Foster
A garden plot should have deep fertile well drained soil and avoid lower spots. Vegetables need at least six hours of sun daily. Trees and shrubs near the garden reduce yields. If rotation is not possible rotate crops and avoid planting the same vegetable on the same area more than once every three years to protect soil fertility and reduce pests.
