The message
from Chris Hogg contains these words:

I've just taken out a leylandii hedge and want to improve the soil
before planting something else next spring. I have access to fresh
horse manure. If I dig it in this autumn, will it have
rotted/composted or whatever, sufficiently so as not to damage the
roots of the new plants when I plant them next year?

Should do - as long as it doesn't freeze from the time you put it in to
the ime you plant the new hedge.

Not much danger of it freezing where Chris is! :~)
