A. The best way to loosen up your soil is to mix in some peat soil, mushroom compost and if need be, even some sand. The peat soil is different to peat moss in that it not nearly so light and it will add more nutrients to your soil. As far as fertilizing is concerned, this should also be done in the Spring. For your lawn, we recommend that you start with our lawn treat, (13-5-7) in the early spring and then move to Fabulawn at the early part of the summer. (24-6-12). Both of these fertilizers are slow release so you will not "burn" your lawn with them and they will continue to fertilize over a longer period of time. For your vegetable garden, I would recommend an 8-20-20 fertilizer which is great for all of your vegetables.
