Manure tea

Bryan, TX(Zone 8b)

I read about 130 post all over DG's about manure tea. The question I have isn't answered.

How long does it keep?

I would assume forever, but I'm asking just in case. I made a ton of it last week for the March round up that is now going to be in April. I haven't diluted it yet, it's still highly concentrated. I didn't use that airstone method, so no danger of exploding. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks!!!

Well, if you didn't aerate the tea, what you have is basically liquid manure, which I suppose can last a long time, although the smell may not be so good.
Aerated compost tea made with the bubbler needs to be used right away or it loses the beneficial microbes generated by the aeration process.
In other words they are different, but both help to improve and fertilize the soil.

Thank you so much! I wanted to leave it concentrated so DGer's could weaken it to their own desire :)
