Default Re: Compost Tea

i started keeping compost worms last yr..love all the worm castings i
get from my 4 bins..
i use the worm castings as my base in my aerated tea..
i have a 5 gal bucket in basement...with 2 air stones in it..
i put in aquarium water(decholorinated)..a quart of worm castings..
and a couple TBS of mollases.. let it set..then pour over whatever
plant.. my bananas,EE,roses,tomatoes,pumpkins seem to love it..
actually this yr my roses didnt have the trouble they usually have
with aphids.. not a real scientific study..but this is 1st time i used
"active" compost tea on them..and no aphids..???
my amarylis seem to love the tea too..they are going gang busters !!!
will love to see their blooms in couple weeks.. !!!
thanks to all here.. appreciate insights and experiments others are
trying on their plants..
happy T day !!!
