I think there are a lot of different opinions on what to do when it comes to getting your garden ready for planting. I have learned over the years the best fertilizer for a organic garden is manure. Also,lime your soil at least every 4-5 years.
I don't use other chemicals in my garden except for seven dust.
Everyone i know that has been planting gardens for years use small plants when planting season starts except for larger garden they use seeds. I usually buy small tomato,pepper,and other veggie plants. Seed's are good to especially if you save the seeds off of your garden the year before. I have had great results from using my seeds from the year before veggies. If you are going to lime your land do it 6-8 months ahead of planting season.
