Sounds like you’re ready to go. Spread the sand evenly, then spade the plot (take a full shovel bite and turn the soil over… repeat). Then add your compost and turn it all in with the claw.once it is finely powdered, take a handfull and ensure that you have about a 60-40 sandy clay to compost ratio. If not add more compost or the manure, but keep in mind the the manure will introduce a lot of weeds to the garden.
If you have time, water the plot for a wek or so, then work it with the claw again. This will eliminate any germinating weeds before you plant.
Spread the mulch after you plant to help the garden retain moisture and to feed the plants throughout the year.
Good luck!

Well it sounds like you’re already…Just lay your soil down and start planring.But the best wat to get your soil ready id in the fall.Make the beds for your veggies and fruits and cover it with your backyard leaves or hay….That keeps the soil furtlized.Then come spring time and you’re ready to plant all you have to do is move the leaves or hay and you would already have your compost down(cause you layed it down in the fall)…and all you would have to do is plant.That’s how i do yes i put a lil bit more compost down on the beds if they really need it.
Good Luck have fun growing your veggies/fruits/flowers!
