To 250 gallons well water at 78 degrees F. we added… To the chamber: 15 pounds vermicompost 5 pounds compost forest duff mushy green gage plums (with
pits) fistful of hay In the tank: 10 ounces organic molasses 10 ounces fish hydrolysate 2 ½ cups humic acid 1 ¼ cups powdered seaweed 2 cups Azomite 1 cup oyster shell flour 1 cup granite dust Topping off the compost tea container: 1 teaspoon yucca per gallon if applied straight. Depending on many variables, the most important of which being my time, we’ve
been using compost tea about every 2 to 4 weeks. The
same members do not necessarily use compost tea each time. This is the first time using this recipe. The mix has changed each
time we’ve made compost tea. We usually use 25 pounds of compost and vermicompost but they felt drier than before so we
used 5 pounds less. A batch of compost was initially inoculated with oat flour for
this brew but was scratched at the
last minute because I didn’t like its odor. It was sitting on the seedling mat, was warm, and smelled “off”
but lost its offensive odor when
it cooled. Decided not to take a chance when doing this
for others. Decided to save it and try it myself in the Bitti. Judi -----Original
Message----- Hi Judi,
Great updates. Could you give us the exact recipe you're using and how
often are the members applying CT? Your posts are a testament to CT's
viability in organic agriculture. Thanks Bill
