I have quite a lot of compost and manure but I make it a little unusually .So I would appreciate a little help as to both using it and making it effectively.

Firstly my technique is to scrape shallowly between the rows with a sharpish spade as a quickish way to weed,

The resultant mixture of soily ,broken roots and leaves I transport a distance away in a wheelbarrow and save in a heap up to 4 or 5 feet deep for up to a year until it turns into a very composty soil.

Secondly and separately I muck out the donkey stable( there would be straw bedding mixed with faeces and urine).This would also be heaped and left.

After a good while this pile (which I cover with old carpets) becomes ridden with soil worms and breaks down to a considerable extent .I try to give it as long as possible -at least 6 months and up to a year ideally.

Now I like to mix these 2 concoctions together and more or less lay them on the top of the old depleted beds as a very thick mulch.

Does this seem like good practice?

I wonder if this mixture needs to sit for a few weeks before I plant or sow into it.

Has the bacterial population in the 2 concoctions been disturbed and need to build up again?
