Location! Location! Location!

Ah, how true. The site selection is crutial. The site must have full or near full sun light, deep rich soil and drain well. The site should be near a water source and not overrun with trees or bushes that might compete for nutrients.

Area's with light shade can be used, however, not many vegetables will grow under full shade. Also, if deep rich soil and drainage is a problem maybe raised bed are the way to go.
