For the Org tests I'm using an Alfalfa Tea and Bunny Poo (Rabbit Manure).

The Poo was mixed in w/ the soil when they were planted. I used a mix I found on a site I can't even remember when doing a Google search on the subject. The poo I used was fresh and not composted. But it was allowed time to "air out" some in the weather in a container w/ drainage holes. While all of this happened it was not under my control, the farmer took care of all of this before I got it. The poo also has shredded newspaper bedding and fresh alfalfa hay bits mixed in w/ it. The recipe I used was 3 parts soil and 1 part poo.

My Alfalfa Tea is still brewing. It should only be a few days till it's done. I've decided to punch it up a bit w/ a recipe I found here on DG.
32 gallon trash can
10 cups alfalfa pellets
1 cup epsom salts
1 cup fish emulsion
(Look under Garden Terms for alfalfa tea for the directions.) I'm just hoping my neighbor folks don't end up hating me and the neighbor cats don't end up loving me! If anyone asks where the smell is coming from I'm planning on playing stupid.

Here's a pic of one of the $0.50 Impatiens I got from Wal-Mart.
