Manure must be odorless or smells like fresh grass clippings before use...

This is the land where i want to garden. but the soil surely needs some mineral and organic content boosters.

Please suggest me something and the problem with this soil is that it is been termites and ants hid out of last 2 years.

It is large enough an area for a proper kichten garden.In my view, a well rotted manure is good enough, but if you are keen then some sprinkling of chemical fertilizers ie. Urea & DAP could also be done- Izhar Sb can probably give a more precise advice in this regard. For anti termite treatment,may in fact must use any GP termicide available with garden/seed stores.
