    I actually recommend it to be seasoned beforehand. This will help to make sure that it doesn't burn your plants, as it can with many. If worms are consuming it, then you can bet that it is much better quality than fresh. I think you will be better off using what you have

    We do not recommend specific places to buy products. I would check on your local resources, as they will have a good idea of where to get things like that.

    This article explains why and how long you should wait after adding fresh manure to the garden.

    Usually, outdoors, it isn't the biggest deal. There are plenty of microbes in the soil to help break it down. The only concern will be giving the plants too much nitrogen. A few good rains will bring these levels back out, so there is likely nothing to be done at this time.

    You can add a little DOLOMITIC LIME to balance the pH out, but there isn't much to do really. It is best to use well composted manure, but really only more sensitive plants will be harmed by direct manure application.

    It should be nice and broken down by now! Make sure and test the soil for deficiencies and pH issues before adding anything. This will help you to be sure that the correct nutrients will be put back into the soil.

    You can apply it directly to the garden soil as it breaks down quickly, however it is even better when composted.

    This is what is known as "leeched manure" and is wonderful for adding as a top dress. Just leave a little gap between the young plants/seedling and the manure, just in case. Usually, it is not going to cause a problem, but better safe than sorry.
