Using Michigan Peat Garden Magic Compost and Manure for bulk?

Hi im starting my first Bulk Monotub tek and bought "Michigan Peat 5240 Garden Magic Compost and Manure, 40-Pound bag" ($15.00 on Amazon) to use in my sub which will be CMC/Coarse Verm/Coir/Gypsum in a large 66qt tub, With a 50/50(Plus) caseing of Peat/Coarse Verm/Lime. My question is will this type of composted manure work even with the peat mixed in? Im hoping if i follow the tek to the letter to get a decent sized yield compared to when i used to do PF tek jars. Any advice on the manure i bought or anyways to better this tek i still have awhile as i wait on my Rye Berrie jars to colonize fully.

Yields are genetics and clean spawn. Substrate has little if anything to do with it. If anything CVG(coir verm gypsum) supplies water more efficiently to the spawn(spawn being the substantial portion of nutrition in a grow)
4 quarts of spawn to one brick of coir 6oz first flush yield


Why make your substrate more expensive and difficult. CVG you can sterilize, manure must be properly pasteurized or its very contamination prone.
But yield is genetics mostly
