If one has a huge expanse of low fertility soil, just run in a single direction until you get some medium fertility soil. It may be a few hundred blocks, but you'll eventually get there. Even fertilizer enriched low fertility soil is obnoxiously slow in growing crops. I would say it's fine to use low fertility soil to farm, but fertilizer shouldn't be relied on in that case. It's better to just make bigger fields, rotate crops, and make sure that the crops are planted as early as possible in order to have enough time to mature before frost(which is going to be tough on the first year). As for farming in general, yes, terra preta is the best dirt, and requires compost to craft, but building an entire farm out of terra preta is a task to be completed over several in-game years, and not the first year or two.
