Careful with the chicken manure, too much, too fresh and it will burn anything you plant.

Hello,
      My daughter and I have decided to take a shot at raising a giant
pumpkin. We have visited many great websites and picked up many great ideas.
Here is our question: Our neighbor has chickens and cows. He has offered to
let us have all of the manure we can haul. We plan to plant our seed in the
middle of April. If we fill our pumpkin bed with 6-8 inches of fresh manure,
will it be ok to plant in 2 weeks or must we wait longer and allow the added
manure to cure? If we must wait, how long must we wait?

Thanks,
Bob Cohen
