I would be a little careful fertilizing with un-composted manure and small plants. The high levels of nitrogen could burn the foliage. On mature plants, it probably isn't a problem, but I would recommend composting manure for many months before applying it directly to small plants. Beyond that, watering is important. You don't want them to be constantly soaked, but you also don't want them to dry out for long periods of time. I check mine daily and if they are pretty dry on the top, I give them a medium watering and then wait till they dry out again to water again.
