Re: Manure Tea

Manure tea is a wonderful organic fertilizer...here's how you make it.

Place one or two shovelfuls of fresh or dried manure in a permeable bag.
The finer the holes in the bag, the less likely it is that weed seeds
will get into your tea. Burlap bags are best, but perforated plastic or
mesh bags will work. Tie the bag closed, then place it in a barrel or
other large container filled with water. Make sure the bag is submerged.
Allow your "teabag" to steep for about one week.

You can apply manure tea at full strength for periodic feedings or
dilute it and use it when ever you water your plants. Do not apply
undiluted manure tea directly onto plant foliage--it will injure plant
tissue. (from Rodale's Encycolpedia of Organic Gardening)

Have fun!
