morning all ... nice frost this morning....ok      if i put some in my water butt 40 ltrs  would this make a good liquid fertilizer an how much would i put in   ty

Just looked at my tub and, TBH, don't know. I would suggest making up a litre first and add pellets until you get a straw-coloured solution. I would also leave your water butt for water rather than for a liquid plant feed as rain will ultimately dilute it further.

I agree - you're likely to clog up the tap with residue and then you can't get the water etc out of the butt.

its not a rain fall butt..it has the mains tap connected to fill it

If your butt has a tap (and you use it) you could try putting a few handfuls in a fine netting bag to avoid potential blockages - being an organic material it will need to 'stew' for a few weeks to release the nutrients.

Not tried it myself, but don't see why it shouldn't work - you would probably need to experiment with the dilution but I wouldn't have thought that a couple of handfuls of dried chicken poo in 40 litres of water would damage anything (probably best to go for the rather unscientific 'colour of weak tea' dilution to start with though if it appears to be darker than that.)
