Question
Hi I am starting a vegitable Garden thats about 11 feet by 15 feet. I just started diging up the dirt to make it soft. I need some help on what to do from this point onward

Answer

First thing you should have done was to have the soil tested to see what fertilizer you may need and to check the PH level to see what the acid level is. You could get by for now if the grass or even weeds did grow in that space, now spread fertilizer (16-16-16) at the recommend rate. In between the rows you could place your lawn clippings to help conserv water and keep weeds down.
Then plant and enjoy.
