Good afternoon ,does anyone know of a dairy farm in the leeds area who
would let us collect some cow manure,i want to try a method of using i
heard about where you fill a hessian sack and dump it in a barrel for
a week and use the liquid as a tomato feed,dairy farms around leeds
seem to be fewer and fewer these days,tia

Animal manures can give your plants big problems if the animals have been
grazing where weedkiller has been applied.

You'd be better off growing your own comfrey, cutting the leaves and
putting them in a bucket of water. When the slurry gets really stinky
it's ready to dilute and use.

If you are wary of animal manure to make this delicious brew, you can also
use nettles if you haven't any comfrey.
But..you do have to wait until it stinks the place out whatever you use..
