An old fella showed me this,and it works a treat,but we need some rain,or else put the hose onto your horse/cattle compost heap for half an hour.
The resulting pools/puddles of stinking brown water - bottle it up.
Old Jess told us this one about 5yrs ago,he said water the slurrey down to about 10 parts water,1 part slurrey,and feed this every day.
We get massive crops with this,and the cut out bucket method to growbag,- try it and see,- still plenty of time left,but make sure you only put two bucketed plants to each growbag as they get very big indeed.

Hi Mark,
This is another way of doing the same thing.
Steal from your wife an old pair of tights or a stocking, fill with a little cow or horse manure that is well rotted and steep in a bucket of water overnight. The resulting liquor watered 70:30 for a weekly feed or 10:1 for a daily feed. In both cases water is the greater figure!
My father used to run the hose on his compost and have an elaborate way of collecting the resulting liquor. His tomatoes were always the sweetest, thin skinned tomatoes I have ever tasted. He has not been with us for many many years but I can taste them as I write!!
