Strawberry's & Creme Brugmansia

Yes..that should be repeated..
don't use fresh manure on plants.. they should be in a pile decomposing for a LONG TIME
by long... depends on the animal.. longer if you are using it on food crops.. to kill the pathogens 2-5 months depending on the ambient air temps
One use for the fresh manure is as a blanket in the fall... to have it spread over the covered cut back stalk of a brug.. and then cover the manure with more mulch... will keep everything under it quite hot for a long time.. reapply as needed.. I've not used it this way.. but I would use the new manure as a blanket to keep some underground water connections from freezing through the winter.. it will burn plants if applied fresh.. please refer to Charleen's expertise here...
paicture is of the nighttime fragrance competion to my brugs... the night blooming jasmine is open every night..

I was just gonna make some plant poo water. Or is there more to it than just making a "tea"

Let it set and in a day or twoit will be ready. If I'm trying to revive a plant I use pretty full strength but after the plant is going I put about 2 pints in a milkjug and finish filling it with water. then as you dip it out just add more water. It should last for a while.

Oh goody, gonna go poo begging ^_^
thanks , you all are so helpful and encouraging. I feel right at home

My charley tea made things grow like lightening. It is good. I am picking up rabbit poo next week from a friend. It will be added to the tea. here is isabella last night, tonite she has more open.

Oh my but that Blue Sapphire Duranta is beautiful!! I used to have a large very old cactus like yours that bloomed every summer. Lost along with many prized plants in a house fire some years ago.

Beautiful blooms, Elizabeth. I can't wait until my durantas bloom. They usually follow the plumbago. My Dola is open tonight. She sure smells sweet. Elizabeth brug has three blooms on this new flush. She is improving.
STATE FAIR! GOOD LUCK TO HER and HIGH FIVE!

It is turning daylight outside and I need to get out there and start working on cleaning up more shingles.We are putting a new roof on(thank goodness for our family who have gotten together to do the labor).But, hubby and I have been trying to do the clean up, and it is not a fun job in this heat.I don't know how the guys can stand it up on the roof! I came in yesterday, got a quick shower, took a 800 mg Ibprophen and was out like a light, til 4 this morning.
Dee

Hey, birdie, do you think you will have some winterberry shrubs to trade this fall? I have been looking for some for ages.Bet I could come up with somethings that you just have to have...lol
Dee

I am looking for a ServiceBerry plant if anyone has one to trade. here is Dola

I have not heard of winterberry shrubs before so I googled it and like everything but the fact that it is not drought hardy. I may want to try one anyway.
