What would answer your question would be to know how deep the tomato/vegetable roots grow in your new garden. If they only grow 5 inches deep - that's all the soil you need to amend.

My advice is to dig in amendments 8-10 inches deep (Single Dig) and see what happens. I'm not a New England gardener, but I think this would work.
