How To Make Chicken Manure Tea|| Tea fertilizer.

For instance in Kenya a farmer need two bags of DAP, of 50kg to plant one acre of land. A bag of DAP in twice the previous year. And you haven't added the top dressing.
This makes farming very expensive and unprofitable exercise.
Amidst all this, I have come up with a solution to your problem, which I simple and easy . In Kenya almost 80% of farmers keep chickens. And throw away the chicken droppings after cleaning their houses. The chickens dropping is an important component when making chicken manure tea.
