would vegetables grow in a raised bed if to much manure is added?

Question

is there a time limit before manure can be planted in with vegetables

Answer 1

You need to be very clear that manure and fertiliser are two different things. Fertiliser feeds plants. Manure conditions soil. Anything which conditions soil is considered a manure. The second thing you need to know is that the time to condition soil is before you plant things in it, just as you would condition your hair before you style it. So now you should see that it is not possible to add too much manure - this is the basis of organic gardening, condition, condition, condition! Fertiliser on the other hand can easily be overdone. Work your well-rotted manure into the soil in the autumn then apply fish blood and bone (or growmore) and rake it through before putting your plants in. The amount of fertiliser is about a handful a square metre.

Answer 2

Depending on the source of manure, it has to 'cure'. Fresh horse or cow manure is too 'hot' to grow vegetables in - it'll burn the roots. Mix the manure with dirt, thereby diluting it.
I've aged horse manure over the winter, and then it was fine in spring.
Chicken and goat manure can be used fresh.
If you have too much manure in the raised bed, just add some dirt and mix it.

Answer 3

Manure should be well rotted before you add it to the garden or put it on in Fall to plant in Spring, especially chicken or cow manure. If the manure is too fresh, there will be undesirable bacteria. There will also be
too much nitrogen which will make lots of leaves but few flowers or fruit.

Answer 4

If the manure is aged (sat for several months to rot), then add all you want but fresh manure will burn plants. Best to use just a lil fresh manure and mix in well.

Answer 5

you answered your own question. "Too much" is exactly that...Too much.
Manure is not the same as dirt. It has acids that can harm the plant if too much is mixed in.
Add a little bit of manure sometime before the roots develop.

Answer 6

1) do not use manure. use fertilizer. manure is not sterile and can contain yucky stuff you don't want on veggies you will be putting into your mouth. save the manure for your rose bushes.

2) too much fertilizer of any kind will burn sensitive new plants. wait until plants are well established before fertilizing at all.

Answer 7

Too much will burn the new plants and kill them off.
