    Yes, curling and yellowing are signs of nitrogen burned plants. At this point, I would remove them and amend the soil. They will only die if you leave them there, so it is better to risk transplant shock and have a chance of saving them by removing them rather than leaving them where they will certainly die.

    Cow manure is so rich and gets very hot. The odds are you will probrably burn your plants up. The best way to use cow manure is before planting mix it in to your soil.

    Composed manure is great for almost all aspects of gardening. When creating a new bed, mix it into the soil following directions on the bag. It is good for top-dressing (putting it around plants a bit away from stems) and I even use it in potted plants by mixing it into the potting soil. I use both sheep and cattle manure - it should always be well composed, of course. Fresh manure is "too hot" and can burn plants. It is an excellent product and I have never noticed an odor that was offensive.
