Nice… Would be a good idea to test and see the concentrations of the minerals in the organic liquid fertilizers. I tried some back home using chicken waste.
Please tell me, after making the green tea or the chicken droppings tea, we sieve out the solids and water our plants with the tea only?
Remember, you always water the soil, not the plants. If you add the teas in your irrigation system you need to sieve, as it may block the nozzles. If you just watering with a watering can, you can leave it in, as you also add organic matter.
Why doesn’t he do the application of the chicken manure directly without making a tea out of it?
Making tea out of chicken droppings adds bacteria to the liquid as well, which is good for the soil. Chicken droppings may also be too strong for some plants.
