I drop in a tablespoon full (or so) of Tomato Tone, a bit of lime, and a walnut-sized (or so) nugget of worm castings from my worm bin. Mix in the bottom of the hole, drop in the transplant, water, backfill, water (again), and top off with a couple handfuls of my soil blocking mix, Vermont Compost Fort Vee, as mulch to keep the weeds at bay (and to feed the plant). I have previously generously spread compost on the row and tilled it in, then spread plastic mulch over the row, with drip tape underneath. Holes are dug fairly deeply with a bulb auger in my cordless drill.
