The vegetable boxes have been cleaned of old plant material and it's time for temperate climate home farmers to fill those boxes with the compost we've been making from our garden and kitchen waste. This free, rich, loamy soil is the best!The next step is to mix this compost into the soil. I do this with my small Troy Built rototiller (my favorite one I've owned, and I've gone through four). See it at: http://www.troybilt.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_14102_91354_54974_-1. I will also sprinkle in a modest amount of cottonseed meal and rock potash to ensure nutrients are incorporated into the soil early.
