the pumpkins loved it seriosly .. when my kids was in nappies we put them in a bucket water to soak ( proper nappies  ) and then i would stir it up well and put it in a barrel on the plot which had straw dropped in regularly .when it had steeped for  ayear i would drain it into pop bottles and use it on tomatos. pour half a bottle in a couple gallons water once a wek and feed . lovely toms

not at all mate . on the humber bank there was a sewage treatment werks .the urea plant and the processed sewage was dumped in masive piles . when i was a kid we used to ride our bikes from louth up the bank and under the wire at the weekends and collect the matoes . they seriosly was fantastic toms

i am going to try a manure / water mix this year.
1st question can i use it straight away if the manure was rotted down before going into the water ?
2nd question whats the dilute ratio ?

[muntjac]

no mate you want to half fil a barrrel with water and then manure ( mix buckets of it together then pour into a barrel , put a cover on the barrel in an all  sunny position leave for a few months ( until ya toms have set the first flowers  ) then look to have a darkish pee looking dilution and water ya toms once a week , all ya plants like it but no roots

[shaun]

done that comfrey mix and god it smells rotten,
the flower guy a few plots down from me ,he uses cow muck /water  on his flowers and they are realy good.
i was thinking along the lines of cucumbers and pumkins i'm not waisting bitter on them.

i used it onmy starwbs and they came up like apples   , thats where i got the tip from matey .my dad used to grow crysanths for mom and the unborn childrens graves in cemetary near little grimsby heuse that same trick , he would carry a hessian sack to collect sheep nuts in . he also always waited till warm winter days  when the moles was busy  and he would take his trailer on his bike and collect the spoil for sowing seeds in . he would steam it  and then sow his seds etc . he grew geraniums and fuchias  and always used it for potting on his cuttings
