All of this lovely mess will be used initially when we first plant the garden, but we will also keep compost piles going for later. You don’t usually want to put the compost directly on the plants until it is well aged but there is another way to use it that can even work for house plants. Manure tea. Does that sound disgusting or what? Make sure to keep it in an outside dirty bucket so no one gets confused. Ok the recipe. You take a 5 bucket and fill about ¼ full of that lovely aged manure, the results of your compost pile. Then add water, warm water is best, stir well. Let sit for a day or so then use the water to water your plants. It works great!
