Default Dehydrated Cow Manure

The cow manure you buy in 40 pound bags at hardware stores, I'm
thinking of adding to my vegetable bed. I'm wondering if it will burn
my young plants?


No but the chemfert will if it is too strong. Allowing 6 weeks rest it
will be OK if you don't overdo it.

I want to till it into the soil along with some all
purpose granular fertilizer and compost about 6 weeks before I plant
the bed. Also, how many pounds of manure should I ad for every 100
sq ft?

I don't know in terms of weight but I spread horse and cow about 5cm (2in)
thick and turn it in (or not).
