Leave it on the surface to degrade a bit with UV and then disc in
shallowly to let the aerobic beasties feast on it.

Thanks Mike,

Also apply some high calcium lime in the manure spreader or on top
of the manure in the field to stabilize the nitrogens and make a high calcium
environment for the beneficial microbes.  A carbon source is good too.

EM microbes seem to speed up and also stabilize the aerobic breakdown of
manures.

Just some thoughts.
