I would go easy on the soy meal if you are planting into a cover of
spring peas.  N levels should be adequate.

Every time I've used soy meal in my garden, it killed more than it grew. Luckily I only put it in a few beds. It's awfully stinky, too.

I grow tomatoes in tire stacks...3 high for each plant. Each spring I fill up the tires with composted manure. I'm talking a couple hundred tire stacks. The plants like the warmth from the black tires and do very well in the composted manure. I have great tomato set and the vines do not go crazy.
