Hi all,
So I brew compost teas to feed my plant used in conjunction with a pre mixed soil that I make up.
The recipe is as follows.
-4ish gallons of water,
-a half cup (or a little less) of worm castings,
-a quarter cup of soil I dug up from the woods where the dirt is just incredibly rich. Were talking rich organics and small particle sized dirt. I'm thinking this has got to add some exotics i wont have already. (not clay, but getting there)
-a quarter cup of bokashi in bran
-a dash of both leaf and fish compost.
-alfalfa meal (I sometimes swap this for kelp meal instead)
then 8-12h into the process i add some molasses. I brew for 36-48h (this one will be 36)
I also love to use BTI for gnat control... can I add that to the mix to brew them as well? Or will they starve in the bucket maybe? (Just trying to be a cheap bugger and save everywhere I can. If i can farm the BTI in here [and stretch out the bag I have] then i'm all for it!)
I aerate using a 950gph pump through a perforated piece of PVC and use an aquarium heater to maintain at least 72F.
