horse manure 'tea'!
« on: May 03, 2007, 16:56 »
So,

I've stuck my bag of poo in a bucket of water and am waiting to pour it onto my onions (amnd I presume my leeks once they are in and my garlic too?)

How often should I do this - and how strong should it be (I ain't tastin' it!)

thanks.  :wink:
trying to be organic...

Eeewww... My grandad used to do that  :shock:  

He soaked it for quite a long time, it was very dark with an oil slick on top if you know what I mean.  I think he used about a tea cup or less of this diluted in a watering can.

Don't feed your garlic later than the end of this month.

I would use it only every 3 or so weeks as it's pretty potent stuff, and as WG says, avoid it on early finishing crops like garlic, early spuds, etc.
