But don't you have to let that manure age a little before replanting
the area? I have been told that really fresh manure will damage root

Depends what kind of manure and how pure. Poultry manure is higher in N than
mammal manure. Manure with a large fraction of bedding is lower in N. Horse
manure is lower N than dairy cow manure. Depends also on how much manure you
apply, the N content of the existing soil, and how much N your plants require.
