# Hello! I would greatly appreciate a plan of attack for these subpods.…

_Posted by GypsyDancer on 2024-03-10_

Hello! I would greatly appreciate a plan of attack for these subpods. I set these up a year ago with the intent to grow veggies. I never planted them. The soil is compacted, bug infested and has been under bay floodwaters once. After dealing with the rats, raccoons, rabbits and floods on my property I’ve pivoted to composting and growing flowers only. My hopes of a veggie garden dashed. So how can I get these up and running? Do I need to replace the soil entirely? TIA

My first suggestion would be to test the soil’s Ph balance. Once you do that you’ll know how to proceed.
