compost tea for tea

It's been a while since the last blog.

Spring is here. things are getting a little bit too busy.
Tea plants started growing much more vigorously as the days are getting warmer.

Today I collected 1 gallon bucket full of chicken manure from the coop and field.
This is really interesting process.
I took an old spoon that was lying outside and a 1-gallon bucket.
Just walking around in the front lawn and driveway, walking path, carport, I collected about 3cups of chicken manure. Each time just scoop the chicken droppings. I am sure that the chickens don't care about dirtying the area. It's just us people.

I started making compost tea by adding water to the bucket, but I left it like that too long and manure started to desolve. It became like a paste.

I looked for any filter material, but I could not find at that moment so I decided to splatter in banana patch, mountain apple (which does not look like growing at all) and some experimental tea plants. we'll see what happens.
