How to Make Manure Tea Fertilizer and Manure Tea Bags for Plants

How to make manure tea fertilizer for plants. Cow manure tea is for garden plants and can be made at home. Do you want to know how to make manure tea bags for seedlings, succulents, roses, and more for your garden? I will give you the full manure tea bag recipe as well as how to pick the best cow pie! Organic gardening tips are always needed!

Manure tea fertilizer can be used as soon as it has "brewed" since it is diluted with water.
Unlike compost tea where molasses is added to “ferment” the compost, it is highly recommended NOT to add molasses or any time of sugar to the manure, harmful organisms can be promoted to grow and that is not a good thing. Manure and water are all you need.

I know my farmer raises organic grass-fed cows so I do not need to worry if the cows are medicated. The grass-fed manure is the best if that’s possible to say. It sure is different than cows fed with corn and grains.

Grateful for everyday living on the mountaintop in our transformed log/farmhouse. We offer food from scratch, handmade DIY, old-timey skills, and simple living for 2!

We still love to do all the things we did when we had a larger family, only in smaller portions. We love to cook, bake (even on a woodstove), make DIY projects including sewing, weaving, and home renovations, and enjoy everyday living in our log/farmhouse on the mountain ridge!

We still practice old-timey skills that we introduced to our children as they were growing up and homeschooled almost 3 decades ago. Some of these skills that we, as empty-nesters, are still using: soap making with lye, hand-dipping beeswax candles, dyeing textiles, rendering beef fat into tallow, canning, dehydrating, and preserving foods, hand-hewing logs, making homemade natural cleaners, bath soaps, and more.
