Now for those interested; this tea was made with the following recipe:
Two cups of leaf compost
1/8 cup of unn sulphured mollases
1/4 cup of alfa/alfa pellets
tea spoon of soluble humic acid 86
5 gallons of water.
1 aquarium pump and bubbler (airstone, strip)
1 soil soup airator
1 paintstrainer bag to suspend compost in water.
we airated (bubbled) our water for several hours with the humid acid in it, to get rid of excess chlorine in the tapwater we used. After that we put in the tea bag with compost.
The clips where made after 36 hours off brewing.
Theres many recipes for tea and this is just one off the them. Brew time depends on the strength of your airpump, the ammount of tea and the quality of your compost. We use either vermicompost (wormcastings) or in this case our own leaf compost. As you can see theres plenty of life in our tea and the benefits outweigh the cost and effort by far. You can replace the soil soup airator we used by another aquarium bubbler.
For probaby a $25 investment, you have one of the best things can your pour on your plant.
We hope this will help some of you out there. Good luck!!
