I've made a serious blunder while setting up my garden again. I added what I thought was chicken manure to my bed, but I just realized I didn't let it age properly. I've mixed it in about 6 inches deep, and now I'm worried my plants will be damaged by the unaged poop. I've read that it's safe to use liquid chicken manure if it soaks and dilutes for a week, but I can't just dig out the manure without disturbing everything. Am I in deep trouble? Should I just scrap all the soil in my garden box? Help me out here!

Chill out, it's going to be okay! The manure might just need some time to break down. I suggest avoiding root veggies for now, but you should be fine with other plants. Just give them a chance to adjust!
I'm still a bit anxious, especially about my tomatoes and peppers. They need to get in the ground soon since they're getting big!
