Manure is spread across limestone soils to improve the physical condition of the soil. Soil provides food and water for plants to grow. If the soil is in poor condition the plants will not develop properly.
Low pH of the manure counters the high pH of the soil. Acid manure, alkali soil.

Manure from farm animals was used by the ancient Romans to fertilize their soil for agriculture. The manure helped to revitalize their soils.

Sandy soils have a particle size of .05 mm to 2.00 mm, states the University of Georgia. According to RAIN.org, sandy soils are porous and do not hold onto moisture or nutrients well. They feel gritty when rubbed between the hands. Sandy soils are known for excellent drainage capability. Sandy soils are derived from such degraded rocks as limestone, quartz, granite and shale, states EAIS. To improve their growing capability, you can add organic matter, such as peat, compost or manure.

We scoop it into a manure spreader and spread it across the fields before the hay comes in or between cuttings.
It adds calcium to the soil and helps raise the pH for more acidic soils.
make a compost pile, spread it on your garden
Oxidation because it increases in charge (acidifies). That's why you use it on alkaline soils.
