Mmm foamy!!! Not sure bone meal is solvable but whatever doesn't dissolve and drops to the bottom just throw that leftover sludge on spent soil.

I started about 9 hours ago now. it has some foam but not much over the whole thing. I used 4 gallons of water; 1.5 cups worm castings, some molasses and some kelp meal.

I have heard that it means the microbes are actively increasing in numbers. Could just mean they are active, or something else completely (like how aloe has saponins and it bubbles up in an aerator.

I've had the tea bubbling for 36 hrs. Is it normal to smell bad? It smell like the all the stuff I put into the tea but it smells stronger now. Smells kinda of fishy from the kelp meal
