My question is I think I should add some kind of nutrient to the soil such as chicken poop, but wasn't sure so last year I added one more bag of Kellogg's to each 4' x 8' raised beds dug it in and that was it. Tried some watered down fertilizer on some chiles last year and fried them! Mary-Anne So should I leave well enough alone?
