Digging in compost

Now that it is warming up a bit and hopefully the soil is a bit more diggable, can I get some advise on digging in compost.

I did not get around to put compost on my veg plot earlier, but have a fair amount (that has a good proportion of composted chicken manure) from earlier in the year that I want to use.

What is the right time to dig in (latest I should do this)? I intend to dig over the plots ready to plant runner beans, potatoes, lettuce, raddish, beetroot, etc.  Also is it good to put compost down on my raspberry canes (Autumn fruiting)?

Any advice on this subject my appreciated.

Thanks.
 

Thanks Digger Dave for the advice. Chicken manure is well rotted.

Is there any veg that don't like composted soil? I've a thought in my mind that certain root vegs like beets or is it cabbage types that don't like composted soil?

Do you think I should compost the salad plot (lettuce, radish, beet and spring onions)?

Thanks again.

Shoit on top and let the worms earn their keep - unless you're worried about fellow plotholders scooping it off! 

What - the fellow plot holders or the worms?

Actually I agree DD. If you are wanting earthworms to do their bit, autumn is best. I can't believe I am actually going to advise digging on this occasion!

It is funny that when you are eating peas off the vine the pain seems to disappear.Per haps we ought to get on to the medical people saying that eating vegetables off the plot are a kind of pain relief.Happy new year every body.

heygrow - I don't know how to tell if a worm is active, BUT  I do know how to tell one end of a worm from the other.
You put it in a bowl of flour and wait for it to break wind!!!
