iDuzHazProblemz: Can you start a garden on top of a preexisting garden?
We had a small vegetable garden and a few months ago some major life things happened so we completely forgot about our garden. What I was wondering, is do we need to pull up all of the dead plants or can we just bury them there? Would this nutritionalize the soil or would it just be better to pull them all up?
I think the only reason they are dead is that they starved to death because we forgot to water them for a few monthes, and didn’t protect them during the winter.

I think the mole people would love to eat any old plants you have. That is why I bury pies vegetable pies of course. Don’t tell me they don’t exist i saw one although it could have just been a badger ^^
If the plants were diseased you may have to start anew. You should pull up the dead plants and throw them away. This is important because some disease can live in the soil for many years. You must also before you take any action, you should identify what the problem is. (I.E. Is it Root Root (Phytophthora?, Nematodes?) But if you know that it is free of these pest then you can put it over but generally, you want to removes the previous plants. If you don’t then you run the risk of re infecting the plants. Nothings to stop you from doing that, however. But if You want to, you can experiment with a crop and see what happens then and take the steps to prevent. The reason is I suggest crop rotation if you must plant in the same space again as some “pests” cannot survive in the host’s absence. The key her is prevention and it will save you a lot down the road. Keep the plants healthy and you should do fine. Good Luck!
