Goat fertilizer

[Skeggöx]

My local gardencenter carries fertilizer made from goat manure. Would this be a good source to add to compost? I havent seen much on using goat manure or how it compares to others.

Heck yeah! Goat manure is basically already broken down also you can apply it as well as rabbit manure (NOT rabbit urine!) Directly to soil as a top dress

And a tea as well I'm assuming?

It's not a hot manure for composting raw plant matter. Hot manures like horse, chicken, and sheep are hot manures. Goat manure is valuable, just on the humus side. May take a longer time for composting. Adding bone meal to any manures increases the actions for both.

Not everyone can sport a goat tea

I'm just now looking into teas. I haven't got the chance to make one yet so I'm still very uneducated on the topic.

I'll definitely get some. It's $8 a bag I think. Not sure if it's 5lb or what. But I'll definitely need some advice on a ratio to mix

I use 4 cups placed inside of a small burlap bag ( hell use nylon stockings/foot anklets) then soaked in warm water 24-36 hrs.

I believe technically they are calling this a compost "extract" as opposed to a tea since enough air is added to grow the microbes. I see a lot of people moving in this direction now as opposed to breeding microbes because really you have no idea which microbes you are helping build in a compost tea most of the time.

Great reference material for making teas!
