I have a plentiful supply of manure; chicken, horse, cow, and swine. I've chosen not to use the swine manure, but have about a gallon of these manures mixed with rainwater and a small amount of urine. I plan to strain it and use the remaining liquid to feed my plants. I'm very nervous about the amount of N in the solution. I only used maybe a handful of chicken manure because it is said to be very hot with N. I am planning on diluting the solution with about 50 gallons of water.
Can I use a nitrogen soil test to gauge the concentration of N in the solution?
What is the correct amount that can be safely fed to plants?
How can I figure up the amounts for the future?
