Chicken Pooo Tea

[Guilt Trip]

Ok I just picked up 6 yards of chicken manure, the real stuff ,* "Chicken Tea" Tommy a friend picked up two five gallon buckets of the poo yesterday. he's going to put in a burlap bag put it in a plastic barrel fill with water and make Chicken Tea ?. he laughed and said don't use a glass because it will look like tea but the taste mite not be the same, so here's my poo questions and my poo thoughts to consider, Just Gardening -
Ok Newt Help ! will this be too hot or should I fill can half tea and half water, Thanks Guilt Trip

What you are referring to is called manure tea, which can be helpful in controlling diesases and fungus problems, especially if it's made with added microbes.* I would think there might be some concern about eating raw veggies to which chicken manure tea (made from chicken manure that has NOT been aged) has been used, due to potential pathogens.* I think you should compost the manure first if it hasn't been already.* I think you'll find this helpful in making manure tea.* At this first site it says to use composted manure.

You can also make compost tea* This site for the Soil Foodweb is great with loads of info you might want to read.* Scroll up and look to the left for info on soil.
