how can I burn my plants with it?
Too much of any one thing is no good.
Everything in the universe comes down to balance and diversity.

@JoeCrowe not only can you add too much to a soil mix and cook your root zone, but make a tea with too much and watch the magic happen.

yah gotchya, I just dump a bucket load on top of the ground. I haven’t seen any negative effect. Strawberry plants go mental though

amen, I"m using 1/2 TBLSP of alfalfa per gallon of soil mix and the plants are doing well. Using 2 1/2 TBLSP per gallon total of dry nutes, 5 different kinds. Plus a little worm casting & compost but only about 5% of the mix.

Good attitude to have, once your first soil mix is done, you can then just keep topdressing and reusing the same soil. Haven’t had any problems with nute burn at all since I’m only topdressing with a little bit of everything regarding organic matter, and plants are doing great.

Super soil after it has “cooked” is probably why people say that but try to use it before you let it stabilize. It’ll fry your plants.
Any manure almost, will cook a plant if it hasn’t rested and cured enough. Chicken manure is one of the hottest.
