I wanna do it right (relatively speaking) since I hope to never have to dig this bed up again... well, at least not 'till next spring
if your cant get bio char then yes the Charcoal is the next best solution
soak it in kelp extract and Microsomal for a day or so add a 1/4 of a tsp of some lower dose firt to Tye the microsomal over until they get in the ground add lots of compost mix and plant you are not going to see that big a difference in the first year but next will good you mite see a big boost with the Kelp and microsomal they act almost immediately

Be sure to add more kelp periodical thats just good Garden Practice and you are going to have to firt a bit just take it easy until you get the feel of your new soil chemistry its goos firther and last longer
