I'm getting a load of fresh manure for my allotment, but the manure will
have to be stored for a few months. How is it best to store? Should it
simply be left as an uncovered heap, or can it be put into a big plastic
dalek compost bin?
Thanks.

Wherever you store it it is preferable to cover as the rain will wash
goodness away, oh my goodness yes.

Which is why I was going to recommend the old fashioned idea of a heap
with a tarp or sacking over it. But I got beaten to it by more
well-nformed bodies
