The soil I grew in this year was...Well old, and seemed like it was rock, it looks it hasen't been tilled for years.
Here's me question...

Would I be able to fix it by adding ALOT of cow manure and peat moss then till it all up.

Or would it just be better to buy some of that black fluffy soil you see at every large garden store?

Thanks.

build it up JA with composted manure,leaves and peat moss.get a soil test before you start.The garden store soils arent usually as advertised and can be a step backwards
