Default Mulching

Just a warning. I bought a load of cow manure a few years ago which
contained so many chemicals that my vegetables, especialy the runner beans,
were inedible for a year and didn't seem to get back to giving that feel
good feeling for a couple of more years.

Having hacked back and weeded the garden in preparation for winter, I
am now arranging to have considerable amounts of farmyard muck
delivered which I then propose to spread over the veg patch and in the
ornamental beds also.
I am then planning to let the elements and the worms work their magic.
Just one question: should I dig the veg patch first, then mulch, or
should I much now, and wait till spring to do any digging ? (the
latter appeals immensely:-)
TIA
