Dcarch -

Some of my plants only grow in about 12inches of soil.
I empty my entire compost bin every fall - I've heard tilling too much can hurt beneficial micro-organisms ~

The only challenge (which I've learned over the years - and reading "stickys" lol) is blight -

I have had great success with the old "dead-fish" in the compost bin / garden routine ...
