Hello Folks,
I reposted this from my journal here in hope to get more views.
Today I purchased my ingredients to make my 1st Compost Tea Batch
For those experienced compost tea makers please chime in if I am doing something wrong.
I've read so many different recipies and heard so many variations. This is the one I came up with.
My goal was to produce a quality tea that wouldn't break the bank and use ingredients that were most beneficial. My Fox Farms soil already had bat quano in it with some other things so I felt I didn't need to add that this time around until about 4 weeks or so maybe. My plan is to make this once every couple weeks or at least once a month and use in concentrated form. I plan to use about 2-3 cups of the Compost Tea Mix to about 5 gallons of water to feed my plants.
Hopefully if all goes well I will have some quality tea in 48 hours
