Hi
   I learned the hard way why you don't put manure on root crops. The
manure will cause many worms to grow. They will eat holes in root crops so
they
look like swiss cheese. The manure should be composted at least 2 years
before applying to an area where you will grow root crops.
Good luck with your garden;
