Default Beginning gardening again- advice needed

For one thing I grew up back East where it was taken for granted that
every seed or plant of any sort needed a bit of fertilizer under it at
planting. 10-10-10, or something like that comes to mind. Manure compost
was also popular. I now live in northern Oklahoma where needs may be
quite different. Can anyone tell me whether I should use the supplement
or just drop 'em in the ground?


Contact your local government cooperative society and they should
know. They most probably would do a soil analysis for a modest fee.


Thanks for the suggestion. I may just try it out. I don't suppose anyone
out there is from northern Oklahoma who might have more first-hand
experience with local conditions?
