Re: Compost Tea
If I need to raise the temperature up to 85F to make it work faster, I'll need to get like a 300watt aquarium heater to make this thing work, and probably put it on full power in order to reach 85F.
That makes sense that the volume of compost doesn't matter that much as long as there is a good temperature and enough time to let the bacteria multiply. I just need to make sure I add more molasses than I might need in order to keep the bacteria well fed, so perhaps twice a day. I already have a powerful air pump that can be used for a 212 gallon tank with 4 outlets and adjustable power. Perhaps I'll use 1 gallon of composts from various sources such as mushroom compost, my leaf compost pile, backyard soil, as well as some worm castings.
It is kind of a weird concept that you want to make beneficial bacteria multiply in order to go into garden soil where I guess it is supposed to survive and somehow help the plants grow faster.
