My boyfriend and I have built some garden space here that required us hauling in some topsoil because this place is nearly completely clay. The cabin sits on the side of a small hill that was cut away for the cabin, and the yard is basically s small hills that meet in front o the house, I am trying to talk him into installing some type of tank system where the hills meet, and then cover that with top soil to have an underground water catch system, and also have an actual garden area. The underground tank would be used to catch water runoff from both the hill behind the cabin as well as the water run off from the roof, which we would use to water the garden and yard. Just some ideas I have floated around to him, it would be a little pricey I think to get the tank installed and the topsoil trucked in, but his son-in-law has a dumptruck so I think he could catch a break somewhere along the way. We have tomatoes, onions, green beans, cucumbers, swiss chard, kale, spinach, green peppers, turnips they are doing well.
