    Weed tea

    I filled a fishermans keep net with various weeds, roots , nettles etc and suspended it in an old dustbin that's used to collect rainwater. It is now extremely smelly . OH was blaming the chooks next door until I told him to take the cover off the bin and smell it.
    Do I need to dilute this disgusting brew down or can it be used neat?

    I'd dilute it for crops, or pour it neat on your compost heaps to accelerate them. I don't measure my dilution, I just slosh a bit into each watering can

      I think you have to dilute it with 1 part tea to 10 parts water, although someone with more knowledge can give more definite answer

        Just dilute it until the water is straw coloured! (Looks a bit like wee!)

              Yeah you'll want to dilute it if you get some on you.

              I had a barrel of perennial weeds at my last allotment. Oh that smelt awful. I did wait til no one else was about to water it on.
