I do not have a tiller other than by hand, not strong enough to shove manure off or mix.

This can, still, be a blessing in disguise! Just move the manure out from your planting sites, about a foot, and it will allow the seedlings and young plants a chance to develop before getting exposed to the manure.

Here is an article to explain the benefits of manure on soil: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/composting/manures/the-benefits-of-manure-in-your-garden.htm
