Vegetable planters

Question

I planted a deep planter with good soil and steer manure. Nothing seems to be gowing very well or at all. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Did you compost this manure first? Sometimes adding fresh manure over a certain amount will burn the plants. I would add dolomitic lime to help cancel out a little of the effect from the high amounts of nitrogen. I would be careful, and only add well composted manure to your soil. If you want to avoid the composting process, then rabbit manure can be used directly into the soil.
