At home I can plant only 1 plant and at a nursery also 1 plant. The soil test of this 2 is very good. A friend on a farm said I can plant there and here is the soil test.
CEC 2.1
PH 4.8
P 8
S 7
CA 287
Mg 43
K 106
Na 5

It is sandy soil. Can I get the soil ready in 4 months? Or will it be a lost of time?

Check my '06 diary,,,I got a patch ready in 4 weeks last year. Started with very similar numbers and it worked out pretty well for me.

Hydrated lime & as much old animal manure as you can reasonably haul. Sandy soil will need more frequent fertilizing but then again the results of your efforts will also be that much more predictable.

Grow on!

It is important to keep your soil moist. This is essential for good bacteria to live.
