So I had a 20litre bag of compost/mulch stuff sitting in my wheelbarrow when we got a few days of rain which filled my wheelbarrow completely full with water which has mixed in with the compost to make a lovely black slurry.

Seems too good to waste and I need the wheelbarrow back but I'm a bit worried it would be far too strong to go directly on my trees.
I have no idea to be honest.

Would it worth just scooping it out or should I dilute it first, what would others do?

Here are a couple of pics....

I would have just dumped it on the ground.

Yeah that is what I want to do but I can't move it down the stairs without spilling it everywhere and my wife will kill me if it goes all over the patio. I'll just pail it out and dump it in a patch we are leveling. Probably best not to risk it on trees.

Well in the end I made a diluted mix of it in a spray pack and sprayed some citrus trees and any others in the garden that looked like the have chlorosis as I tend to get that here as our soil is crap, the rest I dumped into an area and dug it in in the hope it will improve that area at least. Maybe a spot for next seasons tomatoes.
