I have two African grey geese and they excrete up to two pounds of poo per day, sounds unbelievable right? They pretty much go anywhere they feel like going and poo constantly, but they use the kiddy pool more often than not. As you can imagine this thing gets ripe, I have been using it to water my hibiscus oleander and crate murtles sorry for spelling.... It does a great job I might add. I am looking for someone who has used this source of fertilizer. Would this constitute as an organic compost tea? Would it sitting brewing in the pool water be considered composting? I also have a horse and compost her manure in piles and a worm bin that gets a scoop of semi composted/fully composted manure (depending on where the shovel hits the pile). So I have several sources of organic compost, but I have no idea how to use these to my advantage, the portions/ratios are also just a guess for me. Right now I grow in coco with coco canna nutes and hydro bubble buckets with canna nutes. I would love to be able to use some of my readily available organic materials in growing next, but are they safe? My worm bin used to be in my grow area until it showed me just HOW BAD fungal gnats can be. It also has thousands of insects and many many unidentifiable mites. I also read that these organisms are all there to feed on dead materials and that they would simply die or move on if those materials were depleted via complete composting. So being that there are so many visible organisms in the worm bin, wouldn't that mean there are millions of invisible ones in my goose pool and the worm bin as well? Organics are very intimidating...
