Horse manure, I use it regular and infact this monday im due to have a trailer load delivered, part of this will be fresh that morning and 'i'll spread a lot of this manure onto my 40ft x 6ft rose bed, with all the winter still to come this manure will act as a mulch and in the spring it will be turned into the top 4 inch via the "mantis" tiller.

There should be no need to rotovate an over-wintered mulch in the spring

Worms will come up to the surface and take it down into the soil saving you a job, plus they make nice drainage holes and aerate the soil. If you rotovate you will destroy your soil structure, the top 4 inches are the important bit.

What sort of soil and where-abouts are you moonraker?

Another question re- soil improver and compost

Which compost would you use for sandy soil, growing grasses and perennials?

Is Compost enough or do I need topsoil too
