i only have one spot in my yard that gets enough sun for a garden- and the soil sucks. lots of gravel and the dirt is poor at best. i know i could dig it out and bring in a truckload of topsoil, but i'm curious about this other idea i had. i am a cabinet maker and have access to more sawdust than any garden could possibly need. i know fallen leaves tilled into the soil are good for gardens. whats the difference. right? not a quick fix, but if i do it regularly will things improve? any species i need to avoid?
