Any suggestions on how to fertilize/ cultivate/ improve this nasty red rocky dirt for gardening?

mix it 1:1 with topsoil

thats what my dad always did when he wanted to plant something in the yard...

You have to "ammend" the soil...adding hummus (not the dip) and other good stuff...

Last spring I built myself a compost heap...compost is good to mix into the dirt.

I just got a bunch of 2x4..made a box frame and staple gunned chicken wire around it...I however..keep forgetting to put stuff on it *doh*

Hummus? What is that? Can I pick it up at Wally World or Lowes?
