Kornfused , My place in the country has unusual clay. The water is likely to run off faster than soak in. I read where some people used a post hole digger to plant their garden. I tried it this year on my tomatoes and peppers and left about an 8 inch hole so I can add water to just the hole and not water the weeds. I put 2 ft wide chicken around plants to keep critters from eating the young plants. Between plants I had some grass clippings from last year. The grass clippings are about gone, but it works so well going to do it next year. I didn't till this year. Used loader and cleaned off trash from garden. Put trash in the mulch pile. Ground was hard and weeds had a difficult time getting started.
Took loader and put two piles of dirt for pickles. That worked well too. Very little effor gardening this year. Like minimum till, I call it minimum work.
BTW, my 12 inch post hole digger is on a 3 pt hitch. No work there either. Put holes about 3 ft apart.
I've never had luck with mellons or corn. Critters will eat the corn. Would need to put a chain link fence around garden to raise corn. I'm mostly a tomato, pickle and pepper guy.
