Yes I tried it and yes there was some difference.

Got some concentrate which I had to mix with molasses and let brew for a couple of hours.  Put 2 lots in the lottie.

I wouldnt say it was startling results but certainly plants have looked much healthier and when I came to pull things like leeks they had much more extensive root systems. 

But I cant really say it was a scientific experiment as this year I also tried to go without watering, I think I only watered the plot 4 times in the whole season.

There are certainly signs that it is doing something - the compost heap is really warm for the first time ever but it would have been nicer if things had grown twice as big, twice as quickly and none of the weeds had germinated......

Yes I would use it again.
