Thanks for the information, FarmI,

I was wondering, though, how you manage to tie the alpacas up in an old bag!
And just who is this old bag and does she mind? We don't seem to have too
many alpacas, here, in Worthing, though I'm beginning to wonder about some
of the sheep - I saw one eating an apple from the top of the tree.

Sorry, FarmI, I find it difficult to be serious for too long. I was born a
comedian - well, at least my mother said she thought I was a joke when she
first saw me!

The council, here in Worthing, has just changed the refuse collection
system, yet again - we now have two wheelie bins. I am not drifting
off-topic because this means that I now have two large dustbins (originally
used for rubbish but hardly used now) and three large containers (originally
used for re-cycling). All these can go up to my allotment, next week and,
then, I shall, probably, try your delightful sounding concoction (lol)!

Best regards and thanks again,

John

I throw whatever I have on hand into an old 44 gallon drum which has a
plastic lid held down by a brick and top it up with water. I then let it
fester for a few weeks. I use a big garbage bin for between times and
always have one on the go and one lot brewing. The mix can include
manure from horse or cow or alpacas tied up in an old bag, weeds/plants
that I can't/don't compost (comfrey, dock, wire weed, marshamallow) and
then when I want to use it I put it into a watering can and dilute it till
it looks like weak tea and pour it from the watering can. Little and
often is the usual dosage. Old gardeners use multiple names for such a
brew and all have their favourite names. I call it "Black Jack" but there
are perhaps as many names as there are gardeners.
