Started a batch of compost tea today. Had to give myself something to do and barring anything else that has to be done after a soil test next month, I've got the soil about as ready as it can be.
Since my own compost wasn't completely finished, I purchased a bag of finished compost and added a quarts worth of the compost, an ounce of unsulfured molasses and an ounce of corn syrup. This batch will go mostly on the raised beds where I'll plant lettuce, carrots, and spinach.
Materials to make this were cheap:
1. A 5-Gallon bucket
2. 4ft of 1/4" soaker hose from a drip system
3. 6ft of 1/4" drip tubing
4. A 4 foot section of 1/2" pvc and a "t" connector to hold the "bubbler" tubing at the bottom
I had the drip line parts already and just reused what I had, the only thing I purchased was the bucket ($2.78) and the pvc pipe and connector ($1.64). Cheap project kept it under 5 bucks!
