[compost_tea] Re: Composting chicken processing wastes



I saw something on the subject of composting chicken fatalities on 
farms on a Google.com search once last year.

I have no data to prove that this was safe, but I did it anyway:
Last Thanksgiving and Christmas, I put some old chicken and turkey 
meat in my aerated tea recipe! I added mature compost, molasses, and 
corn meal to it.  After 3-5 days, it smelled ok, with little 
foaming.  I assume it was a strong bacterial tea. Huh?

I diluted it and used it as a soil drench around my fall/winter cover 
crops and my lettuce, mustard greens, and collards last winter.
