I was actually thinking of building a rain catch/ compost tea barrel setup this spring. How long do you leave it before using? How long will it last before getting nasty? If you also had picts it would be greatly appreciated.

I do have Pictures but couldn't get them to transfer form the five selected photo box, I ask for help and will soon post Pictures, Your question was How long before I am going to use the Chicken Poo Tea(my choice)in about Three weeks, My thinking (scary)is I'm letting it work like compost, but I posted this Tea Barrel Topic to get and give all the information I could. Hoping to get some comments and questions, because their are others on the forum that is and has had experience with tea Barrels and knows, I will post so everyone see progress, I will show some rows of the same kinds of plants ones with and ones without TEA. Later Guilt Trip |
