The manure I bet Robin is referring to is composted and bagged -- I use it directly on plants and in potting mixes myself, and it is far past the burn point. (As long as it's steer manure in that bag. The chicken manure can still be somewhat hot.)
As a matter of fact used some today as I am running very low on potting soil and had a container project I was in the midst of....
