I have been told to put cold manure into the vegetable patch. What is “cold manure”? T.L. by e-mail.

Manure can fall into two categories, “hot” and “cold”. "Hot" manures such as horse, pig and poultry are high in nitrogen and need composting to prevent burning plants. “cold” manures are manures from cow, sheep or rabbit origin and can be added directly to the soil. I think it would still be a good idea to let them rot down a bit before you pour them directly around the plants.
