Could you make compost tea out of cow manure?

[Praxxus55712]

@Pepsicarwash I would compost the manure first or use manure that's been allowed to set for a couple of months. It will make great tea for your plants.

Melted fresh snow is full of nitrogen and depending on where you live it may also be pollutant free.

I'm really trying to become the gardener that you are. I want to garden in containers simply because I don't have time to tend to my plants very much, but then I find that I usually mess up on the watering or fertilizers. I was so happy I was able to eat BLT's twice last year using tomatoes I grew! And had pickles with cucumbers I grew, and fajitas with peppers I grew. It was only a few meals, but it was so satisfying. I can't wait until I have enough to give some to friends and family.

Don't forget about the sodium fluoride that some municipalities put in the water.

I also have raised beds. I think you will find that the narrower the bed, the more watering will be needed. Think plant pot. They are smaller and need more watering than a garden bed. Same principal.
