Barry,
to me 3 -4 lbs doesn't seem like very much compared to 1,000 sq ft. Without knowing exactly what the compost manure is, it's hard to say, but if I were using "fresh" manure, I'd still spread it in like 3 - 4 lbs per 100 square feet. I'd work it in really well, and let it stand for at least a week to ten days. Then work it more and then water it. The watering will leach some of it further into the ground.
I would think this would be appropriate for an area that had been used for gardening for several years where the soil had not had any amendments added during that time.
