I happen to have some unique circumstances, so I'll just have to experiment and see. We have a barn with an upstairs hay loft that has been in use for eighty years. There is a lot of very old hay residue laying around. I think a lot of the magic of the old manure I've been "mining" out of the field has to do with it being so old. I might also try sand as a cheap aerator. I think the manure is good enough to work with anything, as long as I don't get it too mucky.
