If you can get sheep manure it makes for tasty tomatoes  ;)
Do you just pick up the droppings and chuck them on the soil, or do you make a tea?  Is there a receipe please?

I just dug the droppings in a few weeks before planting  :)

Tie them in a hessian sack, throw it in a barrel of water.

Set up a total exclusion zone of at least 100m. 

Let it brew for a few days and use diluted on your plants.
Sounds delightful. Thanks DD

It's so delightful, Mrs Digger has banned me from using them.

Produced cracking tomatoes, though.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Hmmmmm! To go sqeeze a sheep, or not to sqeeze a sheep that is the question.
I use worm wee on all my beans and peas. It works wonders and no you do not need to chase worms around while holding a little gazunder. Just get a wormery running and use all the worms toils for your use.
Comfrey tea works well and the same with nettles.
You could cheat and use grow more and regular doses of tomato food.
May the fork be with you
