There are various ways to get manure into the ground. My preference is single digging. Start at one side of the bed and dig a trench one spades depth and width. Pile this soil into a wheelbarrow.
Using a spade add a layer of manure. Now dig a trench next to the first trench. Upturn the soil from the second trench into the first.
Repeat this until you get to the far end of your plot and use the wheelbarrow soil to fill in the last trench. Now can you dig all that?
A word of warning, this is tough, labour-intensive work so helpers such as husbands and little ones are an advantage!
