Only 2 things I can think of... Make it 3 parts sand instead of 1 part, you'll thank me later and check if the potassium is from muriate or sulfate of potash... I find sulfate causes my plants to stop growing for a time so I cannot use it. I have heard others say the same, but some others use SOP and have no problems... Just a warning so you don't post in a couple weeks how your plants suddenly stopped growing... At least you'll know why if they do.

With the manure in the mix, go easy on fertilizer for a few weeks at first, too.
