Hi there, All I do is get a load of stinging nettles, put them in a bucket, cover with water, and let it fester for a few weeks. You can then strain out any gooo, and pour it on your plants.  :D
Peas out!

I get chicken manure from a friend of a friend of a friend. Come to think of it, how do I know its chicken manure?

I often use changes of water from the fish tank on non edible plants, only because I'm not sure about whether it would be good for Veg without composting.

Fish tank water (full of fish poo) is really good for anything.

I use comfrey manure but failing that for toms I use an organic liquid feed.

Manure. Tons and tons of manure.

So far I have used 3.5 cu metre of horse manure, about half dug in and half top dressed.

I've only just realised an almost unlimited supply of horse manure so haven't experienced its delights so much, other than the odd bag I got and some scraped off the road, the wife thought that was very funny.

Glad about the fish water :)
