Put it in as soon as the ground is workable. Till it in good, since you are using fresh manure you will have to wait to plant or you may burn the roots since the fresh manure is so strong. When I use sterilized manure that I purchase, I have never had a problem planting right away with that.
I do have access to older manure that has sat during winter. Which do you think is better. Ive always had gardens & just put the manure in before winter
Start at the beginning. Question 1. Is your garden in ground, in a raised bed, or in pots or bails?
If you choose fresh manure, work it in well this fall to plant in spring. Fresh manure will kill new plants because it is strong so it needs time to mature. You are so lucky to have access to manure at your property.
