Great video, I really enjoyed watching it.

i own 7 acres of cardamom and is it fine if i dilute this solution in water and spray? if so how can i dilute in 200ltrs of water???

Where is found Molasses. I am Now in Nepal, my country. what is the alternate of Molasses?

what about honey? instead of molasses..

great video, thanks for sharing! when you say put it in a cool spot, how cool are you talking? i'm in Ontario, Canada, even in the summer our overnight temperatures can be as cool as 45 degrees. Inside, my cabin maintains a pretty steady temp of about 66 degrees.

Great video "grow someplace" I did not get to read all the comments but if no one has told you this tip it should make you quite happy!!! Instead of letting your water sit over night you can put your air stone in the chlorinated and chloramine water and it will get all that bad stuff (chlorine and chloramine) out of your water in about 2 hrs!!

use microbes instead of germs. some people are grossed out by germ on their food. microbes are a good thing.

Can I add 10-10-10 in the compost tea to have a better result?

I use about a quart of tea in a 2-gallon water can and sprinkle the plants in the evening as both a foliar and a root drench. I also add a little liquid kelp or fish fertilizer for the added benefits including amino acids.

A alternative to molasses would be sweet rotting fruit. apples, pears, cherries, papaya, etc. NO CITRUS!! Citric acid will KILL it. fruit is used in India, and Indonesia and they are having good results with this 'sugar'.

Hello, sir. How if do not use molasses? Or, can I replace it with sugar? Please to answer, sir. I really appreciate your help.

This is a really great video :)

Alternative to molasses?

Thanks for this simple method.

The molasses is too much cost, it is nearly Rs 1200 , tell me is there any alternate or cheap molasses.

Grow germs to dump on your plants- Gross someplace!

Thanks

Aquarium Water, Not sure how good of an Idea it is, but I would if it is not treated to kill off bacteria. Germs are our friends.

You can use a rubber band, zip tie, or twist tie and a washer or nut to help hold the stone on the bottom of the container.

Can you start your compost tea using aquarium water? Would you suggest waiting the 24 hours or can you start up the batch right away?
