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

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?

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?

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!
