If you have any neighbors with gardens, if they are growing what you want to grow, you should be OK. Your main problem is going to be not overwatering. Get a moisture meter and use it regularly. I did a soil Ph Test and My soil is Ph level 8.0 or higher (8.0 os as high as the test goes) Alkaline. I doubt that those results are accurate ... Wisconsin's rainfall and underlying rock types are unlikely to produce soil as alkaline as that. Check the USDA soil maps to see what your area has. Based on the drainage results, you have a heavy soil. Minimize the amount of tilling and digging you do if it's wet, because it will turn to hard lumps. And make the beds so you don't have to walk on them to plant or harvest - it packs to concrete. I'd go ahead and plant, and start a compost bin. Next spring spread any compost you made over the beds and plant. (let the worms do your tilling) Instead of pulling up the old plants, slice them off with a shovel at ground level and let the roots decompose in the dirt. It leaves tiny channels and organic matter way deeper than you can dig. Here is a link that might be useful: soil maps

Hi "CityBounty", the link you had shared in threads is not working. With your website how can I get all information and a cleared knowledge about your work.

Mcmann she only has two real friends in the world. Myself and the guy who lives out of state. He calls me and I call him and we work on her. Sometimes it feels like we are doing good cop/bad cop. Azzalea I have already broached the attorney idea. Her son had one so I suggested she talk to him about his experience with the system. She will be seeing her DS today or tomorrow. Hopefully she will follow through. Alot of her problem is her pride which leads to hiding her disability and secrecy. I had a serious heart to heart with her the other night. I told her as much as I understood it hurt her pride it was very important to start showing her weaknesses instead of her strengths in order to have any chance of getting the services she so badly needs or will need in the near future. I also focused on telling her that now was the time to accept help from those who care about her while she still can make informed choices. I told her she had to stop hiding and learn to trust the people who have her best interests at heart and quit being so gullible to smiles and a friendly demeanor from those who don't really give a rat's patootie. She "gets" it but then gets frazzled and slips back into her doormat ways.

Hi. Sure, disabled here means wheelchair user. I want to pitch this to a primarily spinal cord injury magazine, so paraplegia and quad, too. Active people who use wheelchairs and also get a lot of enjoyment from gardening. Let me know if I need to define it more. Thanks!
