This year I mixed too much steer & chicken manures in my veggie patch. Samplings from the seeds died. Other plants are kind of wilting. How can I fix this.

Not alot you can do except flush/dilute with lots of water or add fresh materials (topsoil, compost, etc.) to dilute and bind up the excess nitrogen. Then replant. It's either that of let it sit dormant and compost in place for several months and then replant if season length allows.

Why do you think they died from too much manure?
