"The ground she wants to use is presently pasture land, supposedly was a cotton field 40-50 years ago. It appears to be black dirt, very hard, the kind that cracks when it dries. I assume it will need some sand turned into it, something to break it up a little?" She will have to plow the grass/weeds under with a moldboard plow. Do that next spring. Then right away disk it and seed some oats into it. Seed the oats real heavy, maybe 100 lbs/acre so weeds don't come up. If it's just a small garden she can seed it with a hand seeder. Would be good if she could get some animal manure too. Then leave the oats grow all summer and plow it under in Sept. The following spring she will have nice mellow ground to plant her garden into. No need to add sand. I bet she wants to plant garden already this year but just about impossible to get anything to grow in sod the first year. Takes to much nitrogen to rot the sod.
