Every year we make manure tea as a favorite treat for our plants. They adore it, and respond in kind with happy growth.What is manure tea? It is a concoction you make from water and manure, that ferments and makes a wonderful vitamin/mineral boost for your plants. You use the liquified form as a feeding for your plants every once in a while, especially when they are budding or growing.

I first saw manure tea on a TV show, but in that version they used an old burlap bag and tied it with hemp. Ok, who has HEMP just hanging around???I came up with my favorite alternative which I found at the local 99 cent store. It is a lingerie bag for laundering... you know the kind, a mesh bag to put your dainties in while washing. It's perfect to put your favorite mixture of manure or compost in and then just zip closed. It can be changed every year, or merely thrown away and a new dollar one put in its place. I attach a strong piece of plant wire to the corner and hang it inside the trashcan.

Then merely fill up the trashcan with water. Some great alternatives are to add powdered MiracleGro (follow instructions for amounts) and use rainwater as well. Then every day or so, lift up the bag and swish it around. After it ferments for about 2 weeks to a month it will be ready for your plants.

My husband is an amazing inventor and came up with an ingenious way of storing the manure tea. I'll share it with you! He took an old trashcan (helps if it has handles so you can secure it to a fence or bench), with a loose-fitting lid (you'll need one to keep the mosquito larvae out), and installed a spigot on the bottom so I could utilize all the good stuff on the bottom of the barrel.Then we perched it on an old tree stump for height, and secured it to the bench. Simply put a watering can underneath, turn on the spigot and voila! Liquid gold. Your plants will love you.

Alternative ways to make manure tea is with your rolling composter. When you add water or moisture, the stuff that leaks out will be manure tea. Capture this and use for your plants.

The resulting manure tea is chock full of all the best ingredients, including nitrogen and will help for your plants happy growth.Be cautious in how you use the tea, as too much nitrogen will result in leaf growth but not fruit.Everyone will ask you how you achieved such beautiful blooms!
