I understand that chicken manure is too hot for tomato plants. True?


Would this work? Fill a burlap bag with chicken manure and submerse it in a 55 gal.
garbage can-like container filled with water and then after a few days, water the tomatoes with it. Is it
still too hot. Beneficial? Anyone done this?
It is very simple actually. Just compost the manure first. That solves 99.999 % of the issues in this thread. Then if you make tea out of it you are VERY unlikely to have any problems at all and are VERY likely to have huge benefits.
