Don’t throw in manure!
Have the soil tested. If someone used a lot of fertilizer it could be too acidic. For that matter you have no idea what may have gotten thrown in there. Sphagnum moss is often a culprit. Good stuff in moderation, but it has a ph of about 4. Most plants need 6.5 to 7, use too much and you acidifying your soil. You can guess forever or you can have it tested. Our commercial outfit charges $20 and it’s worth ten times that.
