Yep, I read the same article. I don't do the tea though, too much trouble. I tried making a tea last year in a 55 gallon feed storage barrel with the alfalfa and the chicken litter and it was more of a hassle than if was worth to me anyway. I just assume put the alfalfa down for the worms to eat. In small batches it may be ok and on small amounts of daylilies, but trying to pour it on all these daylilies would be a pain.
Someone I know swears by the tea and they use it once a week on all their daylilies. I actually see no growth difference between mine and theirs and I do less work.
