Post #4881630

Hello,
I have been reading here for a while but just planted my garden. I have had gardens before, but where the soil was rich. Here, in zone 9 northern California, the summers are hot and the soil gets hard.

I rototilled three times, and put compost on and then rototilled again. I took a soil sample and it says the ph is neutral and the nutrients nil. I have already planted the veggies. Please help me with what to add. Side dress with manure? "fast food" fertilizer for veggies? Osmocote?

I am not sure what to feed the plants. Thanks,
Ellie
