Steer Manure

Question

I have a gardening area with very poor soil. I asked one of my gardener friends how to fix it. He suggested steer manure, the more the marrier. I bought packaged steer manure blend. Another friend said too much would burn my vegatable and flower plants. Which friend is right?
