Sheep Manure Help (application and info)

13 years ago

I just scored a garden trailer full of sheep manure mixed with straw/hay and I was wondering about the application amount and how long I need to let it break down before I plant on top of it. My raised beds are 4'x8' in size. The manure was on the ground for a good couple months or maybe more before the neighbor scraped it up and scooped it into my cart tonight. It was kinda packed down but i'm sure there is some fresh stuff near the top.

Can I till this into my beds and plant on them in the next thirty days? or will this be too 'hot' and burn my plant roots. Anybody have experience with Sheep manure?
