There are, at least in Texas, places where you can buy various forms of humus/dirt by the yard. I would suggest "plowing" your yard if you have a lot of weeds or grass you dont want, then laying down the humus/dirt. If you check the link in my last post there are quite a few people in the same spot as you. Lots of helpful info there.

Overall the nice thing is, you can landscape areas you want if you are starting from scratch. Takes a little work (obviously), but you can save a lot of money if you do your landscaping needs know, rather than wait and end up hiring outside labor to do it for you.

I kid i kid, though would you recommend anything for us lowly folk who rent apartments? Been wanting to grow SOMETHING but not sure how I would go about it...

nice site btw, didnt know how much went into planting trees
Well, I would imagine you would need to buy some potted plaants or the "trays" if you decide to do some gardening. As long as you have sunlight, it is pretty much the same, although on a smaller scale. Same stuff though, I would use the fish emulsion, make sure you get plenty of water to them. Dont have much experience with the small stuff though, so take it with a grain of salt.
