I add my micro nutrients etc as soon as I have time. Adjust the pH as soon as possible, it takes time to correct youre acidity. If youre adding something that the plant needs to grow with like 10-10-10, wait until just before planting since it will wash in with time and you wont derive the full benefit.

One to two weeks prior to planting date Bill. Add your amendments and till in. If you have surface-only and drench-in amendments, wait until planting day.
