I do something similar with the fish...a few months before planting I dig trench-rows about 12-18" deep and bury some fish, add some lime, and re-fill. I mark the row with stakes until planting time. The plants are store bought and often leggy. When planting I strip some leaves and trench the tomatoes on their side, usually adding some compost. This year I will be using vermicompost. I started doing worms last Feb and have some great VC waiting to be used.
