If the ripping is not required...

[StillHope]

Thank you,Daniel and Carey.
Brining the soil-it goes without saying.
Type of gardening -using every space possible to grow my own fruits and vegetables.
How much I am willing to invest?- I don't have much,but whatever needs to be done - I have to do it,it might take longer if it's too expensive.

I don't have a solid lava on my lot,

as robguz said ," a'a rubble" in most of Seaview (I am

not sure what it is),and it's mostly clear -just one junk tree which

my builder promised to remove.

So my ? was - what could I ask my builder to do with the soil -fluff it?rake it?

Is this "a'a rubble" just requires soil on it,that's

all? How high should be the soil layer?

Sorry,too much questions..
