My first attempt as an adult at a real garden was pre-empted by a lot of research, but little cash and a rental property (so limited bed locations). I came upon the SFG method and decided it would be the best way to make use of the flower beds I was converting to veggie gardens but I didn't have the funds for a fully filled raised bed. So I just amended my existing (crap) soil with composted manure, peat, and vermiculite and my beds have done quite well for the most part these last 2 years.

All I've been doing for fertilizer is adding a few bags of compost (composted manure or mushroom compost) to each bed in the Spring when I clean up the beds for planting. Am I missing something in regards to fertilizing? I see talk about different fertilizers each spring and throughout the growing season. I just bought some Dynamite Select for my containers (using the 5-1-1 mix instead of random garden dirt this year), and now I'm wondering if my Spring manure amendment is enough for my in-ground beds or if I should be doing more throughout the growing season.

Some dolomotic lime can't hurt, and maybe some nitrogen (preferably urea, used lightly and in multiple applications.)
