soil mix brewed in tea

[motomarty22]

so i made a soil mix and have been wondering if i can just use it for my compost tea feed? I used all the worm castings i had and am trying to get around buying more right now and have read lots on that being a great tea ingredient. any help would be greatly appreciated i have been searching for awhile and cant find the answers i seek

Yeah you can bubble it with a bit o black strap molassas and will get the microbes going

I add a bit of it to every AACT I do. You could also use soil from a forest nearby, get the good smelling stuff

Ok so I started the soil mix compost brew already and don't have molasses can I get it today and add it. My tea has been brewing for bout 30 hrs now how long can I let that brew before it goes bad?

Mate dont overdo teas, itf you twat them it will change the soil consistency of your plants. 3 teast their whole life is plenty if your soil is good otherwise top dress.

brewing without bsm is sorta pointless...
microbes need food to procreate

Ok got the molasses and compost brewing, just for future reference, I read somewhere that putting straw or wood chips something solid for the fungi and bacteria to hold on to was a good idea that is often overlooked. Is this something that should be done or is this just bs?

Yes great advice. I do one veg. Two flower and is finishing tea. So four total.

I don't think it will have truly stated without molasses. I do48-72 hours. Depending. T-0 molasses plus any dry amendments. Or your soil. T-24h add Ewc. Then bubble for additional 24-48h until foam is almost overflowing.

I don't know the science behind the delay in adding compost. . Does anyone? Jus how I was taught. And has worked well for me

I think you add the ewc after because the fungus needs a head start... Don't quote me here without someone more experienced backs me up.. Bacteria will overpopulate the fungus if you put it in right away.. I think!
