>You can make your own liquid fertiliser from manure in a tank if you've got land so there's really no reason to apply it directly in my opinion.You can also make it with a 5 gallon buckets on your porch and apply it with a backpack sprayer. The reason to apply it directly, or apply the residue from making the manure tea, would be to help maintain soil organic matter which is essential for soil health. You could just use synthetic fertilizers and tons of compost to get the same results, but manure is common enough that you can usually find it for cheap or free.

>there are a bunch of herbicides to choose fromI like to use a pound of table salt in a gallon of water. It will kill most things, but it shouldn't kill grass or well established clover as long as you wait two weeks between applications. Some weeds like dandelions need multiple applications, and it won't work on halophytes, but for the majority of weeds it's safe and effective. You can look up "salt based herbicide" for more details.
