I have a vegetable garden in Midwestern Northern Illinois. It is organic, has raised beds, and I am using double digging techniques (actually bastard trenching), along with French Intensive concepts. I broke ground in December of 2009, and I hope that if you are a beginning or struggling gardener that this blog will be an encouragement to you.
Start a second trench and throw the soil on top of the compost. After the bed is dug in this manner, I dig several inches of compost into the first 12 inches of soil. Fluff it up with a potato fork, rake it and plant it.
