Healthy soil and sustainable growing

  Good idea, but fresh manure only adversely affects tuberous vegetables by 
making them look forked and ugly.  Like all fertilizing material to much 
might burn the plants.  To much is determined by what kind of animal it came 
from.  Chicken and sheep being fairly strong, so you would use less of it, 
unless it were composted first.  Compost being the great neutralizer.
