Starting your own Vegetable Garden

High Springs (Florida) has a Community Garden coordinated by Lys Burden. Lys recently contributed these tips in the Local section of the 6/13 Gainesville Sun

• Clear a space that gets about 6 hours sunlight per day
• Consider raised garden beds because they're easier on your back
• Enrich the soil with compost before you plant
• Start small. You can always expand
• Add mulch throughout the season.
