I bought a new house, and just as I got my garden how I wanted it, I am moving!! The plus side is that the new house has land and mature fruit trees and a large gardening area right behind the house. My question for everybody is how should I begin the gardening there. Should just plain plow and disc or make mounds 3' wide and 12' or so long like described in The Vegetable Gardener's Bible?? The cost of the wood or stone or other masonry beds is going to be cost prohibitive this go around. I will have plenty of organic material to add to the soil. I thought about plowing under and letting it sit for the rest of this year till say August and disc it down and sow vetch and crimson clover as a cover crop till next Spring.

Any suggestions out there. I am starting with tons of room and an absolute clean slate.
