Nice video. I add everything from blended table scraps, Turkey poop, weeds. Rainwater is the best, your spot on. One thing I found that works even better than a shovel for stirring is a lightweight short aluminum boat oar. There cheap and won’t rust and are strong.

I do that too, with chicken and rabbit manure. I let sit it in the barrel and stirr it often. Then I pour it on the base of plants, like cabage, tomatoes. Regards from The Netherlands.

Hi what's the ratio of manure to water? Also is the manure fresh/raw or cured?
@JohnDoe03292 жыл бұрын
@@dishonteelucksingh5826 I just adding fresh manure to the IBC-tank. Sometimes I ad water to keep it thinner. But the ratio is not so important. Crops like leeks and cabage can handle the stong manure mixture. But watch with other crops, try out to give them small amounts. You will see if they got to much 2 weeks later, the leaves will be curled.

I went to an an auction at a chicken farm and talked to the guy who was closing the farm. He told me He was quitting because the doctors had diagnosed him with something called dung lung. It is a fungus that grows in the lungs on inhaled chicken manure. The only cure for it is to cut out the affected parts of the lung. After talking to him I never clean up after the chickens without a respirator.

I would say yes although I'm not 100% on that. I have seen other videos/ ideas on the similar idea. The idea is to leach out the nutrients into the water. As long as you're not getting any of the solids in the "tea" it should be fine.
