Default Horse Manure When can it be used

Hi All,

At our allotments a local stables has set up an agreement whereby they can
dump all their horse manure. It is straw and without pesticides.

My question is;
If I top dress a bed with 10" of manure then will it be safe to plant in
come next march? Also what do people think re root crops in manured ground,
Pippa Greenwood in her book says that is no problem but I'm sure I have
heard otherwise.
I also think Pippa should have been the next Gardeners World presenter as
that Monty Don is just too posh!

Thanks to all,

Adrian
