There are several different things you must do to get your garden planted. You can read how to prepare your soil in the previous article (down).
First, you should prepare the soil. Make sure you have plenty of compost and manure to mix into the soil before you plant your garden. You will want to rototill all the compost in thoroughly.
Then, water your garden until it is well soaked. All this should be done one week before planting day. Leave the garden for about 4 days or until you think the soil is at a consistency that is good for planting.
