Get a bucket and mix 1 part worm casting to two parts chicken manure, thoroughly. Pour one cup of this into another 5 gallon bucket, fill with water and put 4 tablespoons of molasses in then stir well. Now for the important part aerate with an aquarium aerator for 48 hours. Use 8 ounces per gallon of soil or square foot. Once a week works best. If you buy the Medina processed poultry manure use 1/2 cup of the castings/manure mix. What this does is let the enzymes break the manure down into a relatively safe mix. Cheap and works great on just about everything and easy to use on plants in containers.

I can pay $4 at the Wal Mart for organic tomato fertilizer which amounts to safe chicken poo.

Sure you can, I'll bet it doesn't compare to the processed product from Medina but go ahead start a thread on your great garden next spring. In fact pick a plant and maybe we should have a contest, you use your $4. product and I will use my free product. Celebrity is a good tomato plant but you choose. Start in March?

Sounds like a pretty chicken shite thing to make a bet over.

Unless you have chickens and a worm farm, this is not a free method. Also throw away your aerators and molasses bs. All you need to do is let it soak in water. The water will absorb the macro/micro nutrients and provide it to your plants instantly just the same. Gardening has been done for hundreds of years this way. No need for that fancy bs to complicate things further

As long as we have fresh vegetables to eat we both win. That's probably filet mignon for your plants but WigSplitta kind of made my point. I don't have chickens or worms, nor do I have the means to acquire it without spending at least $4 in some shape or form. The $4 stuff hasn't treated me bad yet. Good luck this year
