I am moving soon and the garden is concrete. This will be dug up but what the best way to rejuvenate this soil?💯🐒

The soil under the concrete will all be compacted. So the first thing I would do is try to get that improved. Tilling is one option but you can also try using a broadfork. I would then add some compost if you have it and then a layer of wood chips or leaves on top of that. This will build soil life which will help keep the soil from being compacted again. I would then plant potatoes, carrots, and other root type crops that will help loosen up the soil. Nitrogen fixing vegetables like beans and peas would also be a great first group of plants to plant.
Nice one! It's not a large area so should be easy. Will have to find a broadfork somewhere thanks for that tip. Yer I'll be adding compost on top possibly building some beds up too a lot to decide on yet. Thank again for the tips 💯🐒
Happy to help :)
Thanks, a great community here💯🐒
