Allotments 4 All

hello all,

i have drained the 'liquid' out of a bucket that some horse manure had been standing in - i plan to use it as a liquid feed. questions though.....

dilution rate? (it is very dark in colour)

which plants would benefit most? (was thinking tomatoes, but would it be too nitrogen rich?) 

any info. welcome. :)

Needs to look like weak tea.

I sometimes suspend a Hessian sack with a brick in filled with horse or sheep manure into a barrel of water. leave it for a while before use..I dilute it down in watering can till it's the colour of weak tea..It would be OK as a general purpose feed for most stuff.. Watered  around base of plant, It would be OK to get your tomato plants  established but  once they get fruit on I thnk You would need a feed higher in potash ..cheers Jim

I have done the cow manure in a sack, left it for ages.  when i watered it down i learned the hard way 1 part feed to 10-15 parts water.
I found that I burnt the roots  of a lot of plants though experimenting....lol
but now i find it a good way to boost crops if the soil is lacking nitrates.

Make sure NOT to get it on the leaves...even on stems!

thanks for the comments, will make sure it's well diluted and aimed!
back to tomorite for the tomatoes i think.

I use it for rhubarb.
