Hi, I will share with you part of my post to jensplot
” You could then directly plant out some plants this year. Certainly curcubits, beans, peas, chard, beet, and anything you have as plants. If you prefer not to eat salads grown in close proximity(that is, on) the manure, then you could blind the manure with some soil or MP compost just on that area. I converted part of a pasture field this way and planted out strait away with good results. In my experience, little actually goes wrong, despite random warnings of doom from others! No doubt they speak in good faith?”
Good luck with your pasture, the only unresolved issue that I found was a active population of wireworm and a goodly number of leatherjackets. I am told that although the population has a 4 year development cycle, that the numbers will reduce as the ground is cultivated. Carrot traps have accounted for some. A work in progress..
