Sorry for all the silly questions. I am working on getting my garden ready for planting. I just want to do it right the first time and then just keep it going. But now I am curious about growing on flat land or to build mounds. which is better or does one veggie grow better than another on different types? Right now I have a 9 foot by 5 foot area for veggies, that is not including the ones I am keeping in pots and I have a 5 foot by 1 1/2 foot area for potatos that is about 4 foot away from my garden.
I usually say that the silly question is the one never asked. Our veggie growers will hopefully be along shortly to help you out with your mound question.
Flat or mounds Newgrow, it has been my experience that it depends on the vegetable you're planting. Cucumbers usually are hilled up. Tomatoes are usually in a hilled row. However, our soil won't stay hilled. As soon a we water, the dirt flattens out. It usually tells on the seed packet how to plant. If you get seeds from a friend or relative, ask how they grew it. Good luck and happy growing.
