Is this a good plan for winter?

Hey folks -- y'all have heard about my giant bed in front - now going to be sunny instead of shady.

I planted it 10 years ago, and the soil hasn't been amended much - only with decomposed pine bark mulch -- which I know takes nitrogen out in the decomposition process.

I am thinking that after everything goes to sleep for the winter, I will do a nice layer of horse poo (that's what I want for my birthday - a truckload of doo doo), mushroom compost, and that sort of thing. Maybe top with some chopped leaves after the final lawn clean up.

What do you think? Would this be a good time - let the good stuff slowly break down and go into the soil over the winter???? Then plant some new stuff in the spring?

Any expert advice would be appreciated! Thanks so much!
