To sidedress vegetables planted in drills, make a shallow furrow down either side of the row about four to 5 inches away from the plants. Sprinkle fertilizer uniformly into this furrow — normally 200 to 300 pounds per acre are required — and then cover the fertilizer by pulling an inch or two of soil into the furrow. Fall preparations will ensure proper soil conditions for early spring planting. Chop residual litter and turn the soil in the fall, burying the litter within the bottom of the furrow, which helps control illnesses and velocity up decomposition. Prepare beds or ridge the rows in the fall for cool-season or early spring crops to be planted in January, February or March so the tops of the beds or ridges will dry off for early plantings.
