Re: [compost_tea] Tea Ingredients
Hi Jon -
Sour milk? Why?
Each component going into your compost, or into your compost tea needs to be
understood.
WHY are you adding each thing?
I can tell you waht to add, but then you don't learn WHY you need to add each
thing. So, let's make this a learning situation.
Why do you add kelp? How much?
Why would you add ground egg shells? How much?
What organisms do you select for if you put in sour milk? Or fresh milk?
What will be the result if you add these food resources?
Would you add an activator to the compost, or to the tea?
What is your purpose in making compost, or tea? Different plants require
different conditions in the soil. What are you trying to achieve?
