You could do it, but since you have someone handy who can do it more easily... Repeat about half as often as you water or it rains. The reason? It smells like a large predator lives there to garden-eating critters. Which, technically, one does.

Maybe I will try that next year. We have really sandy soil, it's just no good for a garden. I did a container garden last year and just started it again this year. It works, but it's limiting.

It's so much fun and you will not believe how much better your freshly grown produce tastes than store-bought. Our main problem is keeping the deer out - we've had success with hanging/pinning dryer sheets around the garden area, and my in-laws swear by this awful-smelling spray that keeps them away. Good luck and happy harvesting!!! We have two large raised beds that we pack full of tomatoes, onions, shallots, garlic, peppers, squash, beans, okra, and of course my herbs.
