TIP:
Soil should be
slightly moist when you
till it. If it’s wet, let it dry
out before digging.

TILL AND AM END
Remove sod, if
present, then till the
soil with a spading fork or
powered tiller. See ‘The Dirt On
Soil” page
63, for more details.
INSTALL EDGING
Plastic and steel
edging are practical
and inexpensive. Brick and
stone edging are more costly
but more decorative.
