Another childcare director told me about "kits" that can be checked out to use within our childcare center. If this is so, where can I find more information about this program?

Adding an acre of new soil
Hello, I live in Franconia and like most spots in my area, we have lots of sandy soil. I have made attempts for 3 or 4 seasons to grow a wide variety of vegetables, planting multiple fruit trees, using irrigation, trying organic weed control methods and its been an uphill battle the whole way (I took a year off in 2019 just to save my sanity). I have tried some bagged manure as soil amendments, but the results were negligible. If I am considering giving it another go in 2020, i'm going to do it with a bang. I tested the soil (over the counter type) and the numbers were "good" but i'm considering some nutrients rich amendments. Whereabouts does one go to get enough quality soil for maybe an acre's worth? Are there master gardener folks that will take a look at peoples situation and make recommendations? I have a compact utility tractor with a 55" tiller as well if that helps with the answer. Thanks, Nick

nonconforming
If a house is nonconforming our zoning allows people to add to a part of a house that is conforming. My question is, if say the front wall is two feet from the lot line and zoning requires it to be ten feet, does that mean all the front wall is nonconforming or just eight feet of it? The following is from our ordinance: Section 11.4 Nonconforming Structures A. Where a lawful structure exists on the effective date of adoption or amendment of this Ordinance that could not be built under the terms of this Ordinance or subsequent amendment by reason of restrictions on area, lot coverage, height, setbacks, yards or other characteristics of the structure or location on the lot, such structure may be continued provided it remains otherwise lawful, subject to the following provisions: 1. No nonconforming structure may be enlarged or altered so as to increase its nonconformity, such as in the case of increasing the height of the portion of a nonconforming building that is encroaching into a required setback, increasing the cubic area of the portion of a nonconforming building that is encroaching into a required setback, increasing the height of the portion of a nonconforming building that already exceeds the permissible height, attachment of an overhang, awning or similar attachment to a wall that is encroaching into a required setback, or the extension of a conforming portion of a nonconforming structure into a required setback and thereby creating an additional nonconformity.
