I was worried about this when Zero got elected since the leftist dictators have used food shortages to gain control of the people so often in the past. I grew my first garden here in Colorado last year. I will be expanding the garden this year. Planting fruit and nut trees too.

Can you buy top soil and put in a raised bed? If so I would do that rather then try to build up the soil. At 4 inches one yard will give you an 8x10 garden. I bought 16 yards of top fill for a 20x60 6 inch raised bed. Then I but 6 yards of compost into it. Total cost was under $450.00, my friends told me $450 would buy a lot of green beans at Krogers. lol, well maybe yes and then again maybe not. But they sure are liking the brocolli, cabbage, brussels sprouts and greens I'm getting out of it right now.

I used to do a small garden here in Texas a few years back but had to start all over since hurricane Ike took all my top soil. Good luck with yours!
