Like compost tea, manure tea is rich is nutrients and can be easily applied to garden beds and houseplants too as a homemade liquid fertilizer. To create your own manure tea, fill a 5-gallon plastic bucket 2/3 of the way full with water. Then fill the bucket the rest of the way with aged manure of your choosing. Allow the “tea” mixture to steep outdoors for a day or two, being sure to stir it once or twice a day. After your mixture has steeped, allow the solids to settle to the bottom of the bucket and then pour off the liquid into your watering can. You can also simply scoop out as much manure tea as you need for individual plants, and then add the solids to your compost pile.
