have you ever used coffee grounds in your tea before ????

Hey to give sweet peppers a good start, What NPK in the bat guano should i look for? Thank You for the video.

It is my understanding that adding fecal matter to a compost tea brewer can create conditions for breeding E. Coli.
-
What exact fungi or bacteria is this breeding?
Is there a way to make a tea that contains Mycorrhizae, Trichoderma and Bacillus? -
I've used this same compost tea for about 3 years now and it works excellent I see a lot of comments on here about you guys bitching about how this is not a fertilizer and how this is only a microbrew, its only beneficial bacteria and it feeds the soul
I used this exact recipe the only difference that I made to this recipe is that I add a little bit of AZOS or some GreatWhite microbes and I added it to the brew and it works fantastic you guys should try it out
Use a microbe brand of your liking throw it in the brew and I guarantee you you will get more Foam action on your teas! -
if you have a powerful pump e.g 80 litre piston pump, how long should you brew it for? still 24hrs?
-
Thats the least amount of castings Ive heard anyone say they use in a 5gal bucket.
-
I got 32 gallon trashcan put 15 oz = 30 tbsp = 1 tbsp per gallon and 1 cup of earthworm castings and put air hoses in

I hate to be that guy, but neither compost or compost tea is a fertilizer. Yes, I know it will help your plants obtain the nutrition they need, but it is done so indirectly. There is actually little nutrition in compost or compost tea readily available for your plant. To keep it short, it feeds the soul and the soil then feeds your plants, in a way. Fertilizer is nutrition that is readily available directly to your plants. There are times when it is important know the difference.

I've seen a lot of this clip's the tea is great but there is no way in hell you will get any
beneficial bacteria the only way you will get any is buy running all the tea through media for no less then 6-8 weeks -

"If the tea is properly made it is a concentrate of beneficial, aerobic microbes. The bacterial population, for example, grows from 1 billion in a teaspoon of compost to 4 billion a teaspoon of an actively aerated compost tea."
from the book, "Teaming with Microbes" written by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis -
can you keep your tea for long?
-
Here's what I use in the outdoor garden:
-Soluble fish flower 1g or liquid fish emulsion 1 TBSP (N source),
-seaweed extract 1g (K source),
-molasses 1 TBSP (carbs and more K), and
-finely ground bone meal or fossils 1.5g (P source) for every litre of water.
Keep ppm under 800 and ph between 6 and 6.8. Foliar spray alternating with clean water every other day. You may add a tsp of neem oil to your clean water solution if insects are adversely affecting your plants. I got rid of so many problems that way. Hope this helps. -
how much in that 5 gallon bucket do you feed each plant
-
What a terrible AACT mix, the brewer sucks too. I wouldn't feed that straight to your plants no matter what kind.
-
id be scared to use such a strong mix ,even in a soiless medium and although an old video,benificial tea is great,,just dont be a sucker and go to the hydro store,,i wouldnt use crushed dog food ,like another guy did,,but there are plenty of sources of free or cheap ingredients available,,most folks either out of laziness or not caring about learning ,,will go with the big bag name,,plus i think flashy ads and big prices fool people into thinkingthe same results cant be gotten at 1,1/10 the cost.
-
not nearly enough aeration, and not even close to the right mix. i don't think you know what you're doing at all
-
you can use the regular pump yes, or duel . Does not matter much as long as you got good air flow through your whole bucket. Im tired of watching videos now Im going to just do this lol. I have almost everything needed already.
