Do you have a patch of soil that is rich with soil but over grown with weeds, trees, shrubs and looks wild there along a patch of woods? This is a great place where you can start a new garden that you can grow a variety of plants and flowers. Before you even start thinking about what types of plants you can grow in this area, in the sun or in the partial shade, you must first think about how you are going to clear this area so you can have a garden to grow!
One thing that you should keep in mind when you are just starting a new garden is that the more effort that you put into clearing the soil and preparing the site the better results you are going to have in this particular garden.
Starting on a new area that has never been cultivated before can be time consuming depending on just how many blackberry bushes; weeds, jagger bushes and similar wild things are growing in this area.
If you have blackberry, raspberries or any other types of bushes that you want to ‘save’ be sure to do this first. Digging them up and moving them to other areas of your wood lines so they will spread and still produce the berries that you love so much. Often elderberries are moved because they are difficult to find but gardeners want the space where elderberries are growing. You will need to make sure that you dig through the soil and get as much of all the types of berry roots that are in the area where you want to garden or the bushes will come back again in the next growing season.
