Some good ideas there. This mimics the native american method of spot fertilization. You dig a hole 6 inches (15 cm) deep and bury a dead land animal (think roadkill), fish, or fresh manure. Next, fill the hole and buid a small mound 18 inches around and 6 inches tall (0.4 m by 15 cm tall). Flatten the top and plant 4 corn seeds, 3 bean seeds, and 2 winter squash. As you get time, dig or hoe up the grass around the hill and turn it under, or mulch heavily with newspaper, cardboard, and crushed leaves. This creates a spot of high fertility very quickly with a limited amount of labor.
