Manure Tea

[Guest guest]

Samba old boy long time no hear

Manure tea is great stuff at least here out in the dry desert. If your

manure is well rotted it "generally " has never damaged my crops. My rule of

thumb for my climate is if the plants are heavy feeders I feed once a week

with 20 liters of water and three liters of dry poop. Let soak in for a

night and pour it on in the morning. I put my manure in a a ladies stocking

and hang in the water. I use the same "tea bag" for about five to ten uses.

The then "spent " manure is unceremoniously dumped on the most needy plant in

the area where it still does some good. I then make up a fresh batch. As

the tea gets weaker with use I use it on plants that have a low need like

orchards any way it works for me. I hope this helps. Say are your potatoes

getting lots of water? When I scrimped on the water my potatoes turned up

small also.
