The tiny apertures recommended , though they will produce the D.O.F you want will at the same time result in image degradimg diffraction . For the most part then I suggest you limit your aperture to no smaller than f 16 which the wider the lens used will result In the greater depth of field .I further suggest that you consult your camera ' s manual so as to learn how to view and control D.O.F.prior to shooting.I'm guessimg it may have live view which would be quick and easy to learn .

Here's a link to an online DOF calculator (handy since DOF changes with focal length, aperture & sensor size)

I am a little further from civilization than you are ... Cedartown (AKA Hickville USA) :)

There is another option for those times when using a longer lens and there is no way to get it all in focus with one shot using a high f-stop. Have it on a tripod and shoot the back focus scene then shoot the front focus scene and in Photoshop, combine the two image to give you entire image all in one full of focus.
Another thing I need to learn
