It depends. The amount of compost or manure that you should add to your soil will vary on the quality of the soil. If you have clayey soil, for instance, you should use much more compost or manure than if your soil quality is already good. In my experience, 40 gallons of manure will be enough to put a thin layer over 100 square feet of good quality soil. For Clayey soil, about twice as much will be necessary to reduce the clay. Make sure that the manure is well composted (it should be at LEAST 6 month old, a year is better).
