Thanks for the help. Only trouble is the burying part. Can only sink a shovel half the distance of the blade into this clay, anything deeper requires a pick. When this clay is dry its harder than stone and when wet will take the boots off your feet. Seems to be no middle ground. Did I mention heavily compacted too. Guess I'll just have to layer it to get something going. Have all kinds of bad alfalfa hay I can sandwich the manure into then again will have to wait for breakdown to happen before making a seed bed. Oh well, just another experiment to workout.
