Either manure will give it a recharge. It will be temporary, but it will work.
If you plan on dumping this into a garden bed on the soil, excellent! I would strive to get microbes in the soil. They will take care of most of your fertility needs indefinitely once established.

Do any of you with small backyard gardens have suggestions for recycling used potting soil? I have several pots worth of what was good soil that's used up, and my thought was to add chicken or steer manure along with other compost and use it on my beds as topsoil/mulch. Any issues with that or other suggestions?
Thanks!

I never make the same mistake twice.
I make it 5 or 6 times to make sure.
