Re: Growing vegetable in a shady area
Welcome to the Forum.
Vegetables & Shade are two antonyms .....i haven't heard of veggie that grows well in shade. You can loosen up your soil by working it up a little and by adding soil amenders such as sand, compost etc. The main reason for it being hard is that it hasn't been touched for a while
Go for some shade loving annuals or perennial ornamental plants.
