  If I were you Sal I would dig it over and plant away. I think it will be fine.

  That is precisely what I do, mulch with horse muck. I'm fortunate in that we have many stables nearby with free horse muck. Nor do i worry about how well rotted the stuff is. As long as the fresh stuff doesn't actually touch the plants, I wack it down by the bagful. I must have added over 150 bags of fresh muck to my garden in the last few years and never had any problems. I also agree with the 'No Dig' theory. Just mulch the surface and let nature get on with it.
