I,ve been wondering,if you add manure , maple leaf, seaweed, some artificial npk's, Maybay some fishheads in plant hole to, wouldnt this be to much or is ther no such thing with ags if the soil keeps balanced?

I'll bet that there is such a thing as adding too much. But, it's probably not as bad if you add it now, when it has time to decompose a bit, as opposed to adding it in the Spring.

Too much fresh manure can elevate salts & Nitrogen. Timing & source of amendments is a consideration.

I.E. SOME Mushroom compost is too fresh & will contain heavy salts. Other mushroom compost is compoisted so well there is no need for concern. When in doubt, get it tested.

depends on soil too. My clay soil in san diego holds salts real easy and we get very little rain in winter. There is definitely a way to put too much in my conditions, I've done it lol, backed off last two years and had great results.
