I have a pile of fresh manure for my allotment. I know the manure has to
rot down in a heap for 6 months to a year before use, however, if the
beds
are empty of all crops until spring can I spread the manure on the soil
now
and let it rot in situ?


Leave it in the pile til spring - bury it deep then just below root depth
before planting veg etc.

Scattering it now would be a waste.
