[Cob] manure tea on uncooked produce

[Shody Ryon]

One way to possibly use manure tea on uncooked leafy green crops might be to soak the greens in water with white vinegar for at least 10 min and then rinse them in clean water?
This in a good idea for any leafy greens. The vinegar doesn't soak into leafy greens but it does enter hard veg like carrots. They come out so clean!
I don't advocate this, nor would I expect the list, I am speaking theory only.

My favorite way to get short straw is to feed hay  to a horse. The horse 
chops it all up for you and his digestive system removes  all the sugars and 
carbohydrates, then he poops out ready to use chopped  straw.

You also have ... manure tea for your  tomatoes, beans or 
any crop which is going to be cooked or washed  clean (Not for things like 
lettuce or spinach which are eaten raw  in my house and can not be satisfactorily 
washed.)
