Beddetr
Id like to get into some vegetable gardening. I have some experience growing vegetables but nothing really on a grand scale.
Ive got a couple different things going for me. One is I have some bottom ground that is currently in pasture. The plan is to plow it up and bed it. The only problem is it is more apt to freeze, but I can work with that. I know it should be plowed in the fall, cover cropped, and bedded in the spring, but it didnt work out that way. Whats the likelihood of plowing it in may/june, hitting it a couple times with the disc, and then bedding and planting pumpkins in July?
Also, I have a small field that has been terraced. What is the best way to go about planting tomatoes on the terrace tops? I would like to use plastic mulch, as I do work fulltime.
I am trying to plan ahead for the future. I would like to make raised beds and plastic mulch. How important is it to have these perfect, square beds? Might one get by using a lister/hiller in a pass and mulch that? Perhaps wait for it to dry out some and roll it and mulch?
I really need to talk with someone experienced in my area, but not many people grow vegetables around here. Maybe for good reason.
Thoughts?
