Manure must be put into the ground in autumn, but not too deep.

This is especially true with fresh manure, which has already rotted away over the course of the winter months until the land is tilled in spring, that it can serve as food for soil bacteria. But rotting is only possible, if the manure is buried very shallowly and is not brought to the bottom of the furrow. There he would, especially when digging deep, not rot, but partly tortuous. However, the soil bacteria that are useful for plant growth cannot develop in peat manure. Half-rotted manure can be buried in the course of the spring or in the case of a second order in the summer. Who needs to give stable manure in spring or summer, should use the half-rotted manure as ground cover and not dig in.
