This is my second season using raised vegetable beds. I started out with top soil mixed with peat moss and compost. Last winter I covered each bed with straw then burnt it off in the spring upon the advice of an old farmer friend. The tomatoes in one of the beds didn't do as well as the others and the green peppers were poor performers. I'm thinking I need to fortify the soil but am not sure what to add. I was thinking manure and possibly compost then thought adding more peat moss wouldn't be a bad idea. Any ideas on this? When would be the best time to add the fortifiers - spring or fall?
