My daughter and I planted one again this year. It's my third attempt in about six years. So far, I've got one golf ball size tomato and nothing else is coming up. Which is fairly frustrating. Our yard only has about an inch of dirt, under that it's a gravel pit, all clay and rocks. Twice I've put top soil on, but it rains pretty heavy in western Kentucky, so all the soil just runs off after a couple weeks.

You need a raised bed then.

Usually that's where the volleyball net is through the fall and spring. In the winter its where I print out the sites worst posts and sacrificially burn them, praying for a better message board harvest next year.

 Which just compacts the ground so you can be certain nothing will grow.
