as for the soil, I'd probably rent a rototiller and incorporate shredded newspaper, compost, sand, or anything that is less dense than the soil.
Hope this helps you!
Did you add Composted manure,Gypsum and Pelletized lime.What you see on those leaves are insects not fungus. Spray them down with a horticultural oil
I agree, it may not be as desirable as gardening in the soil, but using varying sizes, colors, and shapes of pots can be very beautiful also and just put down mulch over the soil that is the old garden. You should be able to grow anything you would want that you had planted in your old garden and not worry about working the soil each spring to make it usable. You should be able to take up plants you have planted and pot them, but do not replant anything into pots that are ill in any way, start with a new plant to eliminate the problem and not spread it to other plants. Put the ill plants straight into the garbage or burn them. I went to plants in pots myself because I have very little sun in my yard and can move the pots to sunny spots so that I can have plants other than shade plants.
Container gardening is great! You can be so creative with pot selection and mix in garden art. A whole new challenge. I agree that 20 yrs is time to let the Indiana dirt win.
Neem oil is the same thing
