Manure tea on crops is popular in home gardens. Similar to compost tea, it enriches soil and adds nutrients for healthy growth. Here's how to make it.
Nutrients dissolve easily in water for sprayer/watering can use. Leftover manure goes to garden or compost pile. Use each watering or periodically. Dilute before use to avoid burning roots/foliage.
Same ratio as passive compost tea: 5 parts water to 1 part manure. Place shovel-full in 5-gallon bucket (requires straining) or in burlap sack/pillowcase.
Critical: Manure must be well-cured. Fresh manure burns plants. Suspend "tea bag" in water, steep 1-2 weeks. Remove bag, hang until dripping stops.
Note: Direct manure-to-water speeds brewing (few days, stir thoroughly). Strain through cheesecloth. Discard solids, dilute liquid.
Manure tea gives garden crops extra boost for optimal health.
