I guess newspaper and boxes are made from trees, providing organic material...
To begin with, I take one of the hand held sprinkler thingies sold for use with ‘weed’n’feed’ stuff. I fill it with limestone (the size of BBs) and mix in a couple big spoonfuls of azomite. I sprinkle that, as best as I can, over the area. We have very acid soil and some things, like corn, don’t really like acid soil. The azomite replaces any minerals that might be needed.
Once I transplant or the seeds sprout, I water with this:

It’s got the microbe stuff.
Another tip, if you plant any kind of legumes be sure to seed the soil with the appropriate probiotics. Some companies sell mixes that work for all legumes, some sell specific ones for specific purposes. I noticed a huge difference in production when I started adding this stuff to the soil around my legumes. My garden areas were all ‘new’ and hadn’t had anything grown in them, other than grass.
