What are the advantages of the green manure?
Green manure's nitrogen content is very high, and it will burn growing plants. Green manure is great, on the other hand for starting a compost pile, if you mix it with some plant matter.

Difference between farmyard manure and compost manure?
Manure is manure is manure. Humanure, cow manure, horse manure, it's all poo. Compost manure is just manure that's been composted (left to rot and break down). Most manure starts off hot, literally, it heats up as it begins to break down. You don't want to put that on your plants, because it's too strong. You want to compost it first. Let it sit for a year and then use it. The only "cold" manures that I know of are rabbit and worms. You can take it straight from their enclosures and put it directly in your garden. Bird droppings might be cold too, but I'm not positive on that.

Activators may include alternating dry and wet layers, introducing animal manure with dried leaves or twigs and shredded wood, mixing fresh compost between the layers of an aged compost pile or vice versa, and sprinkling healthy garden soil between the alternating carbon- and nitrogen-rich layers.
