the rows and fill it with more alpaca manure. It won't burn the plants,
so you can put it on any time during the year.
I cannot really guess about micronutrients without a soil test or
seeing the growing plants. What did your father use for fertilizer
the year of the drought, when the garden performed well?

He used Tomato-Tone for side-dressing along with that Miracle-gro that "feeds the leaves" bs. He didn't fertilize much after the first red tomato so I threw on some triple 13 mixed with epsom and borax every two weeks. The drought was last year.
I'm really not looking to use the alpaca manure as a fertilizer but as a soil helper. So I'm worried about adding my fertilizer and burning the plants out.
