This piece copmes from my blog -
It's life Jim, but not as we know it under the chook poo tea article.
I don't have a degree in chemistry or agriculture so I may be picked to pieces about the way I use chook poo, but it works for me.
We have four hens. In their coop are nest boxes and a perch. And in and around and under these is the nightly deposited chook poo.
Each morning I pick the poo in a handfull of straw and put poo and straw into a bucket and fill this with water. I use the straw because I don't like the feel or smell of fresh chook poo and I'm too unorganised or lazy to go to the kitchen to get some rubber gloves for the job. Anyway, I reckon the straw is an essential part of the mix.
The bucket of chook poo and straw is my chook poo tea.
It sits in the sun for a day, or longer if you want to, and then I pour about a litre or so into a watering can and top the watering can up with fresh water. This is then spread around the plants you have in your garden. The only plant I seem to have had a bad reaction from is our goji - it's developed a fungus on its leaves since I started giving it chook poo tea.
After the bucket of tea is finished you can either dump the straw and left over chook poo near a tree as well fertilised mulch or fill the bucket of water and use again as a weaker tea tomorrow.
Eventually you will get to a stage where too much chook poo tea is being made. All your plants are healthy, well fed and don't really need some more chook poo until next week.
When it gets to this stage I tip the bucket - poo, straw and water around a plant. I water this in as the stuff going into the soil is very strong.
Another thing to do is to tip it all onto an empty part of the garden, open up a little pocket, put in some compost or potting mix and plant a seedling. I don't know how successful this will be, I've only been doing this with chook poo tea for a couple of days. I've planted Queensland blue pumpkin, gramma pumpkin, Lebanese zucchini, black zucchini, button squash and watermelon this way. The first to go in - the blue - seems very healthy.
