I am wondering if I mixed my usual soiless mix with some well rotted
cattle manure in my outdoor planters. Would that work? The manure is
like compost - 2 years old and very dry and black.

Lori,

Good compost is not dry and black. What does it smell like when warm
and wet? If it smells like fecal material it still is! If it wasn't
composted well it may be dominated by anoroebic bateria, AB are NOT
what plants like.
