First, on the recommendation of a local master gardener, we bought (ouch) a 25 lb bag of alfalfa meal, which is high in Nitrogen content. The bag says to mix 5-10 lbs per 100 sqft. We sprinkled it liberally over the area where the tomatoes, herbs and strawberries are destined to be planted and mixed it in about 2-3 inches deep.

The first plants were then added: tomatoes, strawberries and beneficial insect attracting flowers.
