Hi, Burppee, Your question is answered above. “Though the soil needs to be rich in organic matter, it can not be compacted. If your soil is more clay-like, mix in some sand to loosen it and improve drainage. And till your garden bed to remove any rocks before planting. If your soil isn’t rich in organic matter, incorporate a few inches of aged compost or all-purpose fertilizer (see packaging for amount) into the planting site as soon as the soil is workable.”
