[compost_tea] Standardized recipe to give to the general public.
I have been a member of the group for years, and work in a retail organic =
gardening/hydroponic store. We have recently built some 15 gallon vortex b=
rewers with Eco Plus Commercial 7 200L/min air pumps to give out Free compo=
st tea to our customers. The problem is we have more than 1 location, and =
we all think our recipe is right.....One guy uses bat guano, and coffee, wh=
ile the other uses multiple nutrients sources, while I stick to the basics.=
We are looking for a standardized recipe that will produce the best results=
for the customer so they can expect the same thing from each brew, I'd lov=
e recommendations, or recipes.
We have just about everything you could imagine at our disposal to use. Inc=
luding but not limited to: Ancient Forest, Farmer D Compost, Earth Worm cas=
tings, humic/fulvic acid, dry and liquid kelp, liquid fish, azomite, and ev=
ery sunleaves variety bat guano.
What I have been doing per 13 gallons:
6 Cups of farmer D compost
6 Cups of Wiggle Worm earthworm castings
60 ml of molasses(Nutrilife heavy weight)
60 ml of fossil fuel humic acid
15ml of concentrated sea kelp extract
I have a scope and this brew seems to be giving a good qty and variety of o=
rganisms we give the tea out in the 20-40 hour range, then thoroughly clean=
the brewer rinse and repeat.
