Default Getting the garden ready to plant

Today is a big day for me as I'm getting the garden ready to plant tomorrow.I want to thank Worth1 for his advice on using cotton seed meal that is fed to cattle.I found a 50# bag for $16 at a farm co-op feed store.Last fall I added some to my garden before I planted my winter cover crop and had the best looking crop ever.When I turned it over this spring the garden was full of earthworms.Hoping for a great garden this year.The weather is calling for temps. in the 80's this week and night time temps in the 60's.So things are starting off in the right direction.

It was hairy vetch and winter rye,sorry I don't have any pictures but it was very thick and heavy with roots.It broke down very well when I turned it over 6 weeks ago.
