Chicken pellets are aggressively promoted as a superfood for vegetable growing, and they sure as hell make a lot of money from a waste product.
You need to improve your soil with homemade garden compost, and you feed the veg (not the soil) with fertilisers, if you need them. A lot of veggies will grow just fine without any additional feed (carrots, salad, parsnips don't need any feed at all: they will grow in sand), and more fertiliser is not better: excess of nitrogen goes into the groundwater and causes pollution

I haven't found a frost to be necessary: in fact we don't usually get a frost until Feb here on the coast
