according to geoff hamilton - sheep manure is put in a hessian sack and suspend it in a barrel of water and can be used neat or half strenght for seedlings or foliar spraying.

typical 0.8 % nitrogen 0.5 % phosphorus 0.4 % potassium

Ask NTG for a spare pair of his tights and dangle them in your water butt, not forgetting to fill them with sdsd first!
