Testing Soil Amendments: Manure Tea vs Compost

Now that I've remembered to amend the soil in my container garden, I'm going to be running a side-by-side test of soil amendments.

Here is the test that I'm going to run. I have two cucumber containers on my balcony garden. In one of them, I have amended the soil with straight compost. The other container I have watered with the cow manure tea that I brewed up.

I'll monitor progress and report back in a few weeks. Which do you think will yield better results?

@buffaloborn71 There was another video with the results. THe roots of the container with the compost tea were much longer, but they grew out of hte container.

@MrandMissConverted Yes it was in a self-watering container and no noticeable issues.

Is the compost tea plant in a self-watering container? Was the tea able to steep aerobically without any problem?
