TOOLS NEEDED
**************
In this chapter the `tools of the trade' will be discussed. The
point of Intensive Gardening is to produce a lot, in a short space,
with minimal effort.
You should own the hoe, the hoe should not own you!
The first most important tool needed for Intensive Gardening is your
love for growing things and your imagination! These will impel from
within to make your ideas become reality.
Everyone's idea of the perfect garden is different. Your garden will
be made just for you!
To start, all that is really needed is a place for your garden which
will get at least 6 hours of sun, seeds, plants, a spade, a hoe,
fertilizer, some garden lime, a little sulphur (for acid-loving
plants and plenty of mulch. A tiller may be used, but is not
necessary.
No tiller? That's right, no tiller, unless of course you just enjoy
working the ground. Some do, and a tiller can be an enjoyable tool.
It may also be used to work the garden spot in order to get a garden
out immediately. But, as stated, it is not necessary.
The reason for not needing a tiller will be discussed in the next
chapter, HOW TO START, return to the Main Menu to find out why.
