I have been reading in other forums that they add a hand-full of this and that to the planting hole, is this necessary, and what do you add?

when we plant out we add a palm fulla of Organic fertilizer,(granulated) a palm fulla bone meal, and ifin it's mators, or peppers, we also add a palm fulla Epsom salts...
set the plant start, in the hole, pull a bit of soil around the root ball, a lil water with Fish emulsion, firm the rest of the soil and water in.
They get a good JUMP start this way...

Yvonne Hall lived near me in NH. I used her goat-y bullets for the past ten years. My garden and outdoors vermi-compost bins liked them very much thank you.  |

Of the various manures I've used, rabbit seems to me to be the best all-around if you can get enough of it. It's mild enough to use directly around plants in summer, even. It works good added into soil in fall or winter and allowed to break down too. It's all that incompletely-digested green matter that helps hold water and nutrients in the garden. If the manure can be composted of course, it will have less weed seed.
