Manure tea overwintered outside - is it safe to use?

The SFG Foundation recommends that all manures be composted, even alpaca and bunny beans.  Even if they are considered "cool" manures, they will have intestinal microbes, including coliform bacteria.  I had to look up E. Coli, the disease-causing strain of coliform bacteria, and it said there were no known cases of it in llamas so I assume alpacas would be the same.

In the world of row gardening, which we don't do, manures well mixed into the dirt for 4 months are usually safe for planting.  Any pathogenic microbes should have been replaced with the good guys at that point.

As far as the strawberries, they probably will be okay.  To be safe, maybe remove all of the berries existing at the time of dumping the buckethose down the plants, and just eat the new ones that develop. ??

That’s actually a good idea, just to be safe.

Thanks for the replies. I removed all of the berries and flowers. I appreciate your help

I use a 55 gallon drum with a removable top. Water, most of my garden trimmings and a 5 gallon bucket of leaf mold, dirt and anything else I can scrape up from under a big tree goes in the water. The liquid I am using now is at least 3 year old. Diluted 50 to 1, I can tell a difference in 3 or 4 days. I think it was originally called "J-DAM LIQUID FERTILIZER" I use it as my main fertilizer, it goes really well with MM.

I'm hesitant to use any kind of manure tea. Although I have friends that use it all the time and their not dead yet. 

We are having another "CYFOON" this morning. Emptied the rain gage, it was overflowing. Front yard was knee deep, first time that has happened since the Road Dept installed a second 4 ft culvert. Got to Church and it was canceled, Lot of damage in Benton, trees and power lines down. Just an educated guess, I would say that we have had more than 24 inches of rain in the last 5 days. My iPhone weather says 0 rain in the last 24 hours. BIG LIARS !!!!

Was planning on smoking some baby back ribs, patio has 4 inches of standing water, so pressure cooker it is.
