I have around 20 ish 30L container with soil and compost mix which I used to grow potatoes.
Can I mix in some Organic soil improver like Chicken manure, Blood fish and bones to be able to reuse it along with some compost?
I'm hoping to use a few to grow potatoes again this year along with beetroot, carrots and egg plant

If you haven't had any pest and disease problem with the potatoes and are going to enrich and refresh the compost that should be ok.The egg plant is in the same family so also greedy and suffers the same diseases.It's always better to rotate the crops eg beans can add to the soil, greens are a different familyJust keep in mind that you are taking a bigger risk each time by growing in the same place each year.But you will probably be fine for a second year. Nutrients are the key for that.
