Anybody dealing with this? Furthest thing from my mind when I went to transplant seedlings. It's gonna be a challenge.

The Hill Country is rocky so ppl build raised beds and use soakers hoses to irrigate

For sure water is a must with elevated planter boxes, make sure you build them close enough to the garden hose, lol .

there was a guy here setting up community gardens on old asphalt parking lots and hard pan city lots they would not till at all
the answer is wood chips and compost , they did a huge amount of composting they would lay wood chips then make rows of compost grow in the compost
sometimes at the end of the season they would shovel all the compost and wood chips up and take it back to the big compost site mix it with more fresh and compost it all winter and go again
you don't need to do that if you are not on a parking lot , you can just keep adding
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

One thing about the plentifulness (is that a word?) of rock is that just about every old building has rock walls that will likely be standing 100 years from now. They are very attractive!
