Also, might like to take a little extra care with the poultry litter. It's got the potential to be a mite "hot", due to excessive ammonia locked up in it. It's good to mix it down with other manures for balance and plan to mellow it a bit longer than you might your average pile.

Goat poo is great, you can spread it out and fertilize the green stuff straight away, no letting it sit for a yr its from the bum to the soil straight away lol

Last year our lovely 'wizard' told me to fill a sock or pillow case with goat poo and let the rain drip through it onto my tomatoes. he said it was better than tomorite. so I did half with wizards goat pooo and the other half without. Sure enought, the goat pooo tomatoes shot up and we had loads of gorgeous tom's

Still missing you Wiz xxx

I got that tip from Wizard as well but on RC when he was a member there. I hung a bag of poo in a barrel of water to make a liquid feed.

Even better if you also chuck in some comfrey leaves, that's what I do. I have a plastic bin just outside the p/tunnel and everything in the tunnel gets watered with the diluted brew once a week. It does stink to high heaven though.... but the toms are great.
