• Do not plant squash (winter, summer, or zucchini), pumpkins, melons, or watermelons for a few years
• Limit the "exotic" foods (ie okra, tomatillos)--keep it simple
• Use some "volunteers" from tomatoes, but not all
• Purchase lots of straw for mulching
• Corn is a waste of space, but could be planted in the far corners that are less frequented
• Allow clover to establish in pathways and in clumps that can be chopped and dropped
• Plant comfrey around the remaining borders
• Establish more perennials
• Establish beds around the fence with sheetmulching (or store the straw bales along the fence to kill the grass and plant through this)
• Use Pro-Gro in the beginning of the season and halfway through (2-3 bags should suffice)
• Get a point well
• Put in a drip-irrigation system as opposed to a sprinkler system
• Create a wash station near the entrance of the garden
• Establish a convenient composting system
• Get donations of seeds and plants
• There are plenty of tools out there--try not to buy any new ones
• Solar dehydrators and Solar cookers could be a great educational tool and easy way to store food/cook
• Always water soil before transplanting
• Water in the early morning and after dusk
• Don't use pheromone traps

Shoveling compost onto cardboard

Oats can be sown at this point (or another cover crop)--not entirely necessary unless mulching material is sparse

Finish the layering with leaves, light wood chips, straw... I got these "yard cleanup" bags from the side of the road near the garden
