Getting ready for work, but wanted to pop on here to post ....
I found out that both plastic garbage cans leak (after filling them up with water, fertilizer, and the Alfalfa cubes). Grrrr .... The weeds in that area should look stunning in a couple of weeks! (I should have known that plastic doesn't last long here in the heat of Florida.)
The leaks were only half-way down both trash cans, so there was enough left to water many of my plants with the tea. The water was a murky brownish-green and the smell reminded me of my sister's horse. I don't know why I didn't think of using alfalfa before. I had used donkey droppings as fertilizer in the past, but it's a pain to drive 20 miles and shovel it up into 5 gallon buckets. The poo is mainly alfalfa and hay. So much easier to just use the cubes/pellets. The nice things was that the cubes were expanded and the alfalfa looked fluffy and rather green again. So I cut both stockings and spread all the alfalfa around my roses and some shrubs that really need some good fertilizing. I will soak another batch and add to my various daylily beds sometime soon (after my daughter's surgery and recovery). I really like the way the stuff looks and smells. Brings back fond childhood memories. I think the Alfalfa Tea will do the trick for now as I poured it all over my daylily beds, as well as many other plants. I may also do a dose of Alaskan fish emulsion too before it starts getting cold here. I am in zone 9b, so there is still a few months left before "winter" hits here. Winter in south-central Florida is usually pretty mild. (Which is why the dormant daylilies don't always survive here in my yard.)
