g'day deb,

sheet mulching/raised garden beds/square foot gardening you name it all the same thing dressed up differently.

check our site for garden ideas these ideas could also be sued to build up your soil in the whole ayrd over time ie.,. set up a bed with no permanent edges then after a couple of seasons use spread that out a little and make new beds in the next spot that you want to reclaim.

throw lots of gypsum around do a ph test maybe? if need be and it is acid then use dolomite at the prescribed rate, the worm will come back in droves. and best bit all this amending can be achieved without turning a single sod.
