I will removing junk (scrap metal and car parts) and gravel in order to increase space for my vegetable garden. The soil will be most likely in horrible condition so I wanted to know some of the best methods to restore it. Some things I already plan do to are:

1) break up the soil

2) add bits of compost

3) plant legumes to add nitrogen

What else should I do, and what challenges should I expect?

I have/had a canon sd 450 but the lcd screen went two weeks ago and now the lens is jammed out so its pretty much garbage. Other then it breaking, the only major complaints I had were the semi-slow picture taking time, and blurry pictures due to my slightly unsteady hand (I love taking candid shots.)

I also felt the zoom range and flash could use some improvement but overall I was happy with my camera.

I want to know if the 850 is worth the extra $$ or if there is another compact camera that would be recommended to me.

I've three dwarf honey gouramis for two days now and they are already building bubble nests in my pennywort. I know I have at least one male, (someones buidling the nest) but would the gouramis build the nest without a female being present or is it safe to assume that at least one of them is a female?
