That’s exactly what we’ve been doing this week, stripped out all the plants from one border/bed covered with CP and a 3 to 4” layer of home made compost. Will leaves the worms to finish the job then replant.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
I used a product call 6X when I moved into my first 'proper' house/garden, as the soil was mainly uncultivated, clay. It's basically the same thing - concentrated chicken manure. It did a very good job in improving it - I think it's still available. Chicken manure pellets are a slightly alkaline medium, but you won't using so much that it affects the soil pH in any way. That's very hard to do anyway, long term.
Later, I learned to add the bulky matter that @Allotment Bay mentions, and I continue to do that as it's a far better solution for the conditions/climate I have
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
