Strip or spirit run can be smelly and possibly toxic I find,I tend to pour it on places that I don't want green stuff to grow.
I say toxic because the earthworms coming struggling up to the surface,and flobble about.
But then the chuckens come along,eat the earthworms and go off and lay eggs,all is good.
And fewer green stuffs seem to grow in these places.
Win win.

Brilliant, Now I see the still running and a clear liquid wash to use in it and the spirit dripping out..... All's good.

Must remember not to throw the spent wash down the sink tho....... Fuckin' stinks!!!
