I would try get into a Crop rotation .. maybe try some peas/beans/legumes this year to fix Nitrogen and Next year Brassicas ... One thing not to try is a root crop like Carrots or the likes as these don't like fresh Dung / Manure try keep two years at least.
If your tunnel is big enough try split into 4 Beds Manure one , lime Another (If necessary) Never Lime before Spuds but before Brassicas.
