it's good that it's mixed with straw
i'd probably be digging the holes and adding your 'shit', water it as well as you can, fill the holes, let it drain away, fill again, if possible
then come back, add your couple of inches of topsoil + seed a week, or more, later
you could just plant the seed, plant the popped seed, or plant seedlings...options
they have a better chance of survival if they are a foot high
if you're planting popped seed you want the taproot facing down
sprinkle some snails pellet area the area
that's about all

do you mean that black plastic you put around landscaping? or a heavy plastic garbage bag with the bottom cut out?
i know what you mean about digging adding and coming back later. at least for me if I dug a hole and planted either a seed or nice seedling i always came back to a 2 ft deep hole!
coyotes , skunks coons and whatever else gets'em. thats why im preparing my area within the next week and hopefully to plant in 3 weeks. that manure is really dry i just rake it up of the ground, yea i wouldnt put wet manure in the it would probably start smoldering in a few days...lol
I have an excellent area that gets full sun from around 9 am to 4-5pm so thats pretty good i think.
p.s. about that taproot facing up/down debate. I have an old book from the 70's called "How to grow marijuana indoors under lights" and it says in that book when placing the seed into the hole place the seed with taproot facing up and that will cause the root to turn down creating a much stronger trunk. to each thier own i guess.
keep it coming any new methods or tricks im up for a challenge. Thanx
