For a great pick me up for poor soil, spread a 3-inch layer of compost over the planting area. For each 100 square feet, apply 20 pounds of cottonseed meal and one half cup of processed seaweed. Add soil sulfur. Till the amendments in to a depth of 6-12 inches and water in thoroughly. Allow the bed to rest 3-4 weeks before planting. In subsequent years, to refresh again, reduce the cottonseed meal by half and omit the sulfur, unless needed to adjust soil pH.
