But don't you have to let that manure age a little before replanting

Depends what kind of manure and how pure. *Poultry manure is higher in N than
mammal manure.
{Chuckle} I used to keep chickens in the back. For years after that
ended, the area was so fertile that plants would virtually LEAP out of
the ground when I sowed seeds.
*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.
