Horse manure and sawdust
This is what I do, I tack a bucket and fill it up with broken down Hourse manuer and sawdust, then I fill the other half with hot water, then I ster and let sit for a while, after that I pour it all on a window screan and the poop water gets stored in a closable tub. I water everything with the stuff. The acuall question is, is it even makeing a differance useing this instead of normal water?

I would have to think you are getting whatever nutrients are in your poop tea.
Ummm, I could go for a hot cup of poop tea right now who has the crumpets.
But really you are basically making a compost tea. Which is good for gardens. I myself have never done this myself.

I read the article, you nailed it... the only thing I might be a little scetchy about is useing it on root crops like raddishes. you would think that as long as I wash the radish very very, very well there would be no problem, I just want to know FOR SURE b4 I go and kill my family with deady raddishis.jk

Yeah it sounds kinda sick but whats the diff between tilling manure into the soil or using ti as a "tea". I makes the plants grow good that's all I know. About the hesitation on root crops. Again, what's the difference if if is on the outside of the plant, if it's in the soil are watered on it will go through the roots through the plant. Now it's on the inside. Which is worse?Rambo 09 wrote:I read the article, you nailed it... the only thing I might be a little scetchy about is useing it on root crops like raddishes. you would think that as long as I wash the radish very very, very well there would be no problem, I just want to know FOR SURE b4 I go and kill my family with deady raddishis.jk
