Okay, In the past few days i went to my local hydroponic store and picked up a gallon of their HomeBrew Compost Tea. I have used it once (With Great Results, that quick!), and then my friend accidentally put it in the freezer for a day or two, turning it completely solid. I have taken it out and thawed it, and placed it in the refrigerator.
My questions: 1. Would this render my tea useless? 2. I have heard that after about 10 days that the microorganisms will have died out because of oxygen loss. Would it HARM the plant to put in "Spoilled" tea? 3. If Freezing is not harmful to the tea, then can it at all EXTEND the life of it. All help will be greatly appreciated, ( ) because after just my first use i noticed a great improvements to my kids. I was hoping that maybe this gallon wouldnt go completely to waste, otherwise i guess this will be a good lesson learned for future reference and to help out fellow growers.

Hmm, unfortunately it doesnt say on the bottle as they bottle it and label it themselves. Other than the name "Vermicrop Organics", nothing else is mentioned
I DO however much appreciate the help, and the good advice. I hope to hear from more ppl too! THNKS

Mitchmoore.... Freezing the compost tea, killed the micro-life in it, it is possible 1 or 2 percent can survive the freeze and recover, but most are dead.
. The real value of any compost tea is the micro-life in it. The trace minerals will still be in there and once thawed, it will still be a step up from just plain old water. Wish I had better news for you, but it's not all bad. . I'd use it over the next few days and chalk it up to lessons learned. . Hope this helps... Keep it Real...Organic.... . . |
