You have to be careful with fresh manures. They can produce ecoli (sp?) in the
leachate. I would recommend you see the www.soilfoodweb.com website and search
around on there for how to make the tea, aerobically.

I have just found a source for horse manure and would appreciate some advice
as to making a fertilizing tea with it. I was told that it doesn't require a
cooling down period and can be immediately mixed with water and put on
plants. Does anyone know if this is true? I could experiment and burn a few
things, but being inherently lazy, I thought I would ask first.

Any suggestion re proportions water/manure would also be welcome.

Thanks,
