Is March to late to add manure?

Hello everyone.
As you can guess I'm new to this growing your own lark, but enthusiastic. (so far).
It's nearly end of March I've 2 raised beds in front garden. Bought in a tonne of top soil but wanted to add some soil improver.

I've shaken a 3 boxes of growmore on them should I be digging in some manure too or is it too late in the year?

many thanks in advance
C

As long as it's not straight out of the horses bum you'll be alright

We tend to mix cow, horse, pig and rabbit manure (all about 6 - 9 months old) a couple of times during the growing season, just to make sure levels are topped up
