I unexpectedly came into 500 Japanese onion sets yesterday when I
hadn't
intended planting till Spring. I spent part of yesterday digging and
spreading manure to get a bed ready. The manure is 2 years old so
I'm
hoping it's rotted enough to skimp on waiting time before planting
the
sets. Any thoughts on how soon I can plant without the manure
causing
problems?

Immediately.
