The soil he put in the garden is at least 4 inches deep in most of the garden. On the back side of the garden, the added loam soil is 10 inches deep. It's that deep to fill an old dry-wash area. We added a drainage ditch that diverts the rainwater from this area now.
Guys, I agree with all of you on not tilling into the clay. Actually, I'm not going to till at all. The soil was spread out in the garden today and the last 11 x 18 feet tomorrow or
Monday.
The 4 inch boards are temporary. We will be replacing them this winter with cut stone. We needed a place to plant vegetables that need to be planted now. The boards were faster, and the stone are at the back of our property where the clay is too wet to drive the tractor on right now.
Thank you for your opinions and advice,
Robert
