Help with tea

[HR][/HR] I brewed my first batch of compost tea this week and need a little help please. I started with 4+ gallons of water, 2 nylons full of my compost, 4-6 cups of worm castings, and about a cup of mollasses. All has been bubbling with an air pump for the last few days and looks good. I plan on adding general organics cal/mag and a little epsom salt at some point, should I add these to my tea now, later or just keep it out of my tea completely? Thanks for any help.

I dont have much growing experience but from what i read and what I am about to do is brew all the ingredients all at the same time for at least 24 to 48 hrs and your good to go. Because if you leave the tea aerating longer than three days, you must add more molasses and whatever ingredient again or the good organisms will start going to sleep because they don't have enough food to stay active. andd when you are about to use your brew let it sit until the compost is pretty much settled out, 10 to 20 minutes and bamm your good to go!

Good luck!

Dont go over 2 days. At 3 days protozoa forms and eats all other bacteria and fungi and creates nitrogen cyclers and thats what your left with. My teas take about 12 to 18 hours. You want to add everything at the same time. Epsom salt ie magnesium sulfate. So only need to add cal/mag just cal. Add some kelp or seaweed too for iron and fungi feed off of it too. It speeds up a plants metabolism

I make an effective tea and use way less than what you're using. For my flowering tea, I use 2/3 cup of EWC, 1 and 1/3 cups of compost (I use guano), 2 tablespoons of molasses, and 2 tablespoons of soluble kelp, and 5 tablespoons GO Diamond Black to 5 gallons water, aerated for 24 to 36 hours. I give it to my plants once a week as their primary source of nutrients and have had great results.

I was trying to make a concetrated mix that I could dilute with water and feed my 30x30 vegtable garden with.

You dont need compost and ewc. One or the other. The end result is humic acid. Ewc os great for veg. Ewc produces nitrogen too. I do compost, liquid humic, fulvic, epsom salt, liquid kelp, and molasses. Foams up tough.

If your way works for you , then go for it. To each their own.
