I heard you can take a bag of steer manure, a 50 gallon barrel, fill it with water, put a lid on it and let it sit for a week or two and use it for my veggie garden.

I googled it and theres lots of answers. Anyone try it?

I use manure tea sometimes. It has to be diluted quite a bit. I like to be able to see through a gallon jar of the diluted solution. Like weak tea.

Mom, Grandma, and SIL all swear/swore by ‘manure tea’. I’ve also used it with good results.

OTOH, none of us ever used sacked steer manure for it; it was alway field collected. Whenever Dad drove Grandma anywhere, there was always a shovel & sack in the trunk with her eagle eyes watching the roadside for cow pies.

Nope. Think I’ll pass on that one. Hubby does have some old horse manure that he worked into his garden last fall. That was smelly enough for me.
