It depends on the provenance of the manure. Herbivores are not necessarily
eating seeds.

with compost or other
purchased "manure that you got from Wal-Mart or other plant nursery
outlets. I would mix it about 50/50. You could include some peat
moss or sand (about 25 percent) and that way it wont look like manure
either.



Why? Is this just to disguise it? Peat moss is rather pricey (here at
least) to use in such quantities.
