You need to be careful not to use a fertilizer that is too strong, otherwise the succulents can burn. However, the right fertilizer used every few months can dramatically change how well your succulents thrive.
The idea behind manure tea is great: it's like using compost or manure as fertilizer, but you don't get messy and it doesn't stink. It's a great natural way to fertilize succulents and my succulents loved it!
Fill the bucket nearly to the top with water. Run the water over the tea bag as you fill the bucket. The directions suggest using somewhere between 1 and 5 gallons of water. I used 5 gallons.
Cover the bucket and let the tea bag sit in the water for a few days. I didn't want to fish the bag out of the water later, so I left the string hanging over the edge of the bucket.
