Planting Onion sets
I unexpectedly came into 500 Japanese onion sets yesterday when I hadn't intended planting till Spring. I spent part of yesterday digging and spreading manure to get a bed ready. The manure is 2 years old so I'm hoping it's rotted enough to skimp on waiting time before planting the sets. Any thoughts on how soon I can plant without the manure causing problems?

Two year old manure shouldn't present any problems - the only risk was from scorching, but that's only likely with fresh manure... and fresh isn't what you got! Assuming your soil isn't already waterlogged, you should be able to plant right away.
