I will removing junk (scrap metal and car parts) and gravel in order to increase space for my vegetable garden. The soil will be most likely in horrible condition so I wanted to know some of the best methods to restore it. Some things I already plan do to are:

1) break up the soil
2) add bits of compost
3) plant legumes to add nitrogen

What else should I do, and what challenges should I expect?

This is a go link http://www.verdant.net/food.htm#whyorganic

but they say Avoid the area next to buildings or fences because of possible contamination of the soil by paint, heavy metals or chemicals.
