Rocks and roots
Our back patio is mostly concrete, but about a third of it - a five foot by five foot square - is soil. Or so I thought, until today. Next summer I want to have a small garden on our patio. So I started digging so I could lay some edging. There are some big rocks in that five by five space. Some really big rocks. Some thick rope-like roots from the neighbor's walnut tree, too. I'm gonna keep digging, but if the entire soil square is this awful I'm not sure anything is going to grow there.

If most of the stuff is removable, you can take it out and fill the square back in with good soil amendments like compost, peat moss, and manure (depending on what the soil's lacking). Ask us in the spring, and we'll help you out.
