Please check my thinking here....
This plan is "general" to help me check my understanding of the compost tea process.
I know I'll have to make daily adjustments based on weather, plants, etc.
Assume I'm growing 18 outdoor trees in 100-gallon soil bags, with lots of pumice etc.
I want a 3-day cycle for each set of (6) plants: feed, skip water; feed, skip, water; etc
For the season, I feed with 3 kinds of compost tea: Veggy, Combo, and Bloom
Day 1: Feed set A, Water set B, Skip set C.
Day 2: Skip set A, Feed set B, Water set C.
Day 3: Water set A, Skip set B, Feed set C.
Day 4: repeat "day 1" ... etc etc etc ... feed/skip/water/feed/skip/water....
I need to have (4) gallons of 48-hour bubbled tea every day, starting 15-JUL.
I need (3) 5-gallon buckets. always running, with pumps and airstones.
I dilute each tea by adding 1.25 water per gallon of tea.
My schedule below lists amount of tea needed, before diluting.
SCHEDULE for Northern Cali:
Start (2) gallons VEGGY brewing every day from 12-MAY >> 14-JUL
Start (4) gallons VEGGY brewing every day from 15-JUL >> 15-SEP
Start (4) gallons COMBO brewing every day from 16-SEP >> 15-OCT
Start (4) gallons BLOOM brewing every day from 16-OCT >> 15-NOV
Harvest in late November after 10+ days of just water.
Is this anywhere near to reality?? THANKS!!
