You certainly can use these. You would want to soak them in a pool of water so that they will rot down into a soupy goo, these are sometimes called roadkill pits. During this time you need to stir it up once or twice a week to keep it aerated and it will stink like the bowels of hell so it is advisable to use a lid to keep the smell down or just do this away from the house. If you have neighbours they will hate you and might even think you have dead bodies hidden under the front porch.


Anyway after a few months of brewing your carrion, it is time to use it. You want to dilute it to a ratio of about 10 parts water to one part animal tea. Then you can water it into the soil or use as a foliar fertilizer. One thing with this kind of tea is it can smell and is fairly rich so it only needs to be used a few times a year as opposed to seaweed/fish emulsions that can be applied fortnightly.


Google "Dead animal composting" for some more ideas.

I recently read that if one is using dead animals or animal shit, that it should ONLY be used on NON-EDIBLE plants, because it can actually transmit bad bacteria into your food crops...
