Organic Garden

Hi,
A friend of mine is starting an organic garden and has about 3 acres of land. We don't know how to start. We are going to have to start from zero, since all we have right now is some acres with grass.

Any tips will help; like where to start, if setting up irrigation first is best, etc...'

Thank You

ANSWER:

You didn't say where you live, or what you want to grow. But, if you are in the USA, I would contact your local County Extension Agent. These agents are a treasure-trove of information on everything about farming, gardening, and much more, in your area.

They also have brochures and publications available with much helpful information for gardening in your specific area.

Before you get started, you will want to have a complete plan in place for what you will grow, and all the steps involved.

That said, all gardeners will tell you that you learn as you grow, and each growing year is different. So, be as prepared and organized as you can, but don't expect perfection!

Get some local, qualified, professional help with your garden before you begin. Three acres is a lot of ground to plant and care for. It will be a big investment of time and money. The more prepared you are before you start, the better your results will be!
