Tomato Planter Easy
I live in Arizona. Is it possible to maintain a backyard Garden? Can I use raised Planters?
I'm looking into starting a garden in my backyard. I read everywhere that you need to make sure that the soil is good. I live in Arizona so the soil is pretty much lacking in everything. Would it be easier and better to just use raised planters? I'm just wanting a small veggie garden. Things I can use in cooking such as peppers, tomatoes and possibly lettuce. I plan on putting some type of cover up such as a Greenhouse but want to grow on the ground. Any good suggestions?
P.S. I'm not completely naive when it comes to Gardening since I grew up with my mom who always had a garden its just that she doesn't know much about Planting in Arizona.
Please help.
(only kind remarks and suggestions needed, thanks)
Above the ground is good and easy. We bought one of these for tomatoes, but are thinking about buying a couple more for other veggies:

We live in West Texas which is hot and dry like your state. Watering is the most important thing. We have lots of large pots that are about 14" across the top and hold 25 lbs soil. We mix it with moister crystals to help hold in water. Read the direction on the container. You will need about 5 to 6 hours sun for veggies. When you get to the 100 degree days, be sure to water in the early morning and late afternoon.

Do this next winter:
Create a new gardening bed without tilling or pulling up grass and weeds:
Once you have a well defined garden bed, no need to clear it of grass or weeds, just layer about 6 or 8 newspaper sheets or cardboard over the bed area, water the paper or cardboard to the soaking point (this method will eventually smother whatever is growing there).
Over this paper or cardboard, you can build up layers of organic materials by using already made Compost from your own pile or bought in bags from a nursery, chopped up leaves, grass clippings, chipped up prunings, produce trimmings, aged manure (not dog or cat), whatever you can gather that will rot. Pile it on as thick as you can and be sure it is kept well moistened as if you are watering a garden each week. This is known as lasagna gardening.
Or you can mix everything together and then pile it on top of the paper or cardboard if you prefer.
If you would like to have a top layer, wood chips can often be found at your city's Parks & Recreation Dept., or you can check with your local nurseries. This will make a good top dressing to keep moisture in and to keep wind from blowing away your lasagna.
This material will break down and become a rich, loose loam. Keep adding to this each year and you will have a very nice gardening bed.
