You don't need much. Just cut some leaves, put in a bucket of water, and 
allow it to get stinky. Then dilute and use, either root application or 
foliar. If you've used manure tea, think in those terms. Don't worry 
about precision--like so much of what we do, it's touchie-feelie, not 
rocket science.

A person dependent on somebody else for everything from potatoes to opinions may 
declare that he is a free man, and his government may issue a certificate granting him 
his freedom, but he will not be free. He is that variety of specialist known as a 
consumer, which means that he is the abject dependent of producers. How can he be free 
if he can do nothing for himself? What is the First Amendment to him whose mouth is 
stuck to the tit of the "affluent society"?  ~Wendell Berry
