lease forgive me if this has been answered, 7pages is my limit for sifting thru threads lol. So, I read on icmag that waiting for the foam on compost tea is not the way to identify wen it's done brewing and ready for use. Is there a way to better identify when the tea is ready? I'm talking about without a microscope and excluding sending samples to a lab. My tea process is as follows: day 1, cold tap (well water, cold is untreated, non softened) in the bucket with 1/4 cup organic unsulpherated molasses. 1cup of my composted soil with a teaspoon each of ewc,Jamaica and Mexican bat guano in a cheesecloth bundle. After a day of my water bubbling with just molasses in it it's now room temp and suspend the bundle above the airstone. I also add a chunk of mosquito dunk in there too. The dunk is because I picked up fungus gnats in some topsoil from (s)Lowe's. So I bubble that until it foams good because I assumed that was the way to know it's done. So, what u think rrog? It's been a long road from dirt soup to 8months composted organics soil but I'm happy. Now I just want to improve until I die.
