 For fertility we used PHC Organic Plant Feed (9 - 0 - 1) right after we finished transplanting and we plan to continue application about once a week. 
 

We haven’t had any issues with disease and insects thus far, but weeds have been annoying.  Once our transplants get established we will lay down hay around them which should help lighten the burden.
