Answer 2

You would lose nutrients. Try digging it in around your plants as is. You could also put it into a compost pile and cover it with grass clippings so it will decay faster.

Answer 3

Burnt droppings make great fertilizer

Come that spring I tilled up a 30 by 30-foot area for a trial garden, sectioning it off into three individual 10 by 30-foot plots.

In one section I tilled in a large quantity of manure, waited a week, then added lime in my usual fashion.

On the second plot, I applied a commercial fertilizer, following the label directions exactly. Then I added lime to this section as well.

As Pete had assured me that it simply wasn’t possible to add too much manure ash to any crop, I spread the contents of an entire 55-gallon drum and half of another one onto the final third before tilling it in.

I then planted exactly the same quantities and varieties of sweet corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, peas, lettuce, cabbage, green beans, and melons in each plot. I figured this to be a wide enough variety for me to obtain a true picture of the results. What surprised me was that by the time that first growing season ended, all three plots had yielded very nearly identical results
