The general consensus is that well rotted horse manure should be added to a plot but, is it okay to add fresh manure?? My local stable is letting me loose on the manure heap!!

No bother, I've just found out why.

But if you can get a lot of the fresh stuff, you can start a great compost pile to have on hand as needed. You can either dedicate a pile to just fresh manure or do a layered pile with any shredded paper or straw or spring plant trimmings in between layers of manure.
