Fall is a good time to put in amendments for the next spring. Also a good time to dig in manure and leaves.

Could you give more info about what your spring and summer weather was like? I had a cold, wet spring then a hot dry summer. Poorest crop I have ever had this year. It was really hard to keep up with the watering. The weeds thrived though!
