Antonio,

It is best to place the manure on top of the fill dirt and mulch on top of
that. Trees are best planted in the native soil, in the layers it came out
as, but you can mix a little finished compost in the fill dirt to help them
along with nutrition and aeration. Make sure the compost is very mature and
there is nothing fresh in it.

Kevin
