I filled my allotment raised beds with about 9 year old horse manure a few years ago now. Spent most of my time plucking out little nettles in the first year, really wished I’d sifted it. I always sift now it doesn’t stop the nettles, but it greatly reduces them.
If I left it covered for a year before adding to beds it would probably been ok but, who has time for that!!!

A pocket knife is not a weapon in the right hands it’s an essential garden tool.
