Question:
Plumbers dug up my garden now the soil is different. Can I still grow a garden?
Answer:
The different soil from the hole is not necessarily a bad thing. Retired UT Extension Agent Mike Dennison says you should get a soil test. He also recommends tilling very well to mix the new soil in the old soil. You can also apply compost.
