Chicken manure tea update
It's got algae growing and tons of mosquito larva.
Mixed up at 20% with dirty fish water.
No change with the sunflowers
No change with the tomatoes
Possibly genetic but I'll play this out a while and will add this garden leader tomato
It's in a row of 5 with the ones on each end larger then this one in the middle
The two little ones are replacements for those eaten by slugs/snails.
Since it has been shown to be safe I fed the pollinated plant today
I also moved her to the South side of the house where she'll get a lot more direct sunlight. She has a few yellowing leaves as I hadn't been feeding the past few weeks.
I even fed this girl today
She put on almost an inch a day past week even with our June gloom weather.
That's all for today for the chicken manure tea. I don't think there's a magic fertilizer that can overcome genetics. I've always had plants grow bigger faster and stronger from the same batch of seeds but showing the tea to be safe has been worth the effort.
Until next time, Happy Growing!
