Here's the question: As we all know, ducks poop a lot. No big deal,
but they also poop in their pool. Again, no big deal: excess
rainwater, after filling the 55 gallon barrels I use for watering the
garden, flows over and replenishes the pool. BUT...can I use the
poopy pool water on my garden like manure tea?


Why would you think you couldn't?


I would be worried about it being too strong and burning the plants.


Mark is talking about a pondful (kiddy pool, I believe he mentioned
earlier) of water with some duck poo in it, not shoveling the manure
directly onto his plants. Duck poo in 10-20 gallons of water isn't
going to "burn" any plants.
