Why don't you turn the unrotted strawy manure into ROTTED strawy manure Polly?
Even a couple of months will take the 'heat' out of it and then you will have a fine mulch!

Or you could lay cardboard or newspaper over your beds and put the strawy manure on top. It will keep down the weeds and you should be able to plant your winter stuff through it in a couple of months!
