I just got my garden tilled and now I'm anxious to get the plants in the ground. The problem is last year all my produce ended up being really small, so I think the soil is deficient in nutrients. Should I put fertilizer on the soil before putting in the plants? What kind? My garden is fairly big -- around 400 sq. feet. -- so it would be really hard if I had to pour fertilizer onto each plant from a watering can. I know compost or manure might be good, but it costs way too much at a greenhouse and I don't know any farmers that could give it to me. Besides, I don't have any way of hauling it. Is there something I could sprinkle on the ground beforehand, or something I can hook up to the hose and use after the plants are in?
