Any tips for gardening on a hill?
My family and I have occasionally thought about planting some stuff around our house, but we have been discouraged by how hard it seems to landscape around our house. We have quite a bit of land but it's all hillside. I was wondering if there was any relatively easy to implement way to make raised beds. Should I just take some wood planks and make a box on the side of the hill? I am not really sure what we would do. I guess this can be more of an open question: what can you do to garden on land with a weird elevation? Are there any plants that do well on a hillside? How would one set up beds and irrigation?
