As Kristen says, you don't need it just yet & once it gets going it doesn't take long for the juice to come out. I just pack mine in the tube & leave it.

"Under my Butt" would be most appropriate if VC's suggestion that they may be composting toilets is correctphoto album of my garden in my profile http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...my+garden.htmlComment

Esbo!
Refer to "Big Mally's" original post! They are a tube, being drain pipe or whatever, fixed vertically to a sound structure, a plank of wood buried no less than 18" 2 foot underground, filled with either chopped comfrey leaves, (High nitrogen feed) or chopped nettle leaves (High potassium feed) weighted down from above, so as the leaves decompose, they sacreat an horrible stinking liquid substance collected in a jar below, diluted normally 10/1 with water, ideal plant food!
Bal!

Had a thought about the tea tubes. Take squash plants - heavy feeders, always thirsty. I usually sink a plastic bottle near the roots to get plenty of water direct to the base of the plant. If you sank a tea tube (minus jam-jar and plant pot) about a foot into the ground near it, packed it with nettle and comfrey, and then watered the squash through the tube, you'd be feeding and watering at the same time. Would it work?Location - Leicestershire - Chisit-land

I have had a thought, if you mount the tubes on a wall so the bottom of each tube is chest height you could fit optics (drink dispensers) to the bottom of each tube, even label said tubes Mally's country Comfrey or Mally's Knockout Nettle.photo album of my garden in my profile http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...my+garden.htmlComment

Might be thinking like a total nutter (hope you don't mind me borrowing that handle VC) but my mother in Law gave us a blitzing thingy for Christmas which is as much use as a chocolate fireguard to us.
Could I simply blitz them or do they need to breakdown naturally?
Please let me know if I am being a complete RodneyComment

Any kind of blitzing would increase the flow of juices..........best do it outside though..........

Oh outside alright! Thanks as always BMComment

I can't tell from the piccie BM, what and how do you stop the compressed contents coming out of the end. I think you said you connected a plant pot with a jubilee clip, but its a bit far off to tell how its done.
I fancy doing a couple of theses on the lottie, I have a nettle bed over there and plenty of pipework here so all I need is a little time...I'm only here cos I got on the wrong bus.Comment
