I need a recipe for manure tea. What I have done so far is to put
about 5 to 7 lbs horse manure in to a large (55 gal)plastic barrel and
fill it with water and let stand. How strong is it suppose to be and
when can I use it?

I dump a bunch of dirt and rotting manure into a 3 to 5 gallon burlap
sack, so all sorts of garbage like straw and gunk doesnt float on the
top (it can become very messy without the sack). Soak for only 5 to
15 minutes then serve, it does a miracle job on potted citrus and a
hundred other garden plants and trees.
