Hello D.J.,
the manure is quite "mature" and my plan is to mix it with biomass about 1 : 2 or even 3. I need the heat and fermentation will only involve the fresh cut grass - no way it could be too much heat. The manure is mostly just a nitrogen fertilizer (and humus provider). And of course, I'll make sure the roots don't even touch what's under them by putting a thin layer of topsoil between them. Very little chance of burning them.
I covered the patches today. I left two small "control areas" to compare to. I'll publicize the results here.
