I've also been using manure heavily, it's fantastic.  A nearby equine 
facility used to keep a pile of old stuff, but no more.  I get fresh and 
apply in the fall, as you do, to let it mellow over the winter.

Here in central Ohio the soil tends to be clay, especially in building lots 
which have been graded.  The clay needs to have something in it to wick 
moisture and encourage worms.  Manure is my favorite, but I've also used 
bagged autumn leaves, well-rotted.

I got some old dried manure from a barn once, it was like dry peat.  It had 
an _amazing_ amount of viable oat seed in it.
