Mushroom Compost in your teas?

I have just started making my first bubble teas with a bucket and air stone. I was wondering since i dont currently have a compost pile going and dont really possess the space to have one does anyone use the prepackaged compost from the store? One of the hydro stores in the area has prepackaged Mushroom Compost. I was thinking of adding it to my teas with guano, earthworm casting, blood and bone meal. Anyone out there tried this or have any feedback? Peace!

I would like to suggest that when making tea you only use worm castings, Humic Acid, Fulvic Acid and no more than 1 table spoon molasses per gallon. You will get more from top dressing the other items and working into the top of the soil than in a tea. After top dressing water it in and ever time you water they go to work for you time and time again. IMHO

Be very careful with the bat shit, if you in-hail any it can cause you health problems for life. I always us a 3M particulate mask 4$. The reason to not put manures into you tea is the possibility of pathogens, [FONT=&quot]E. coli [/FONT]and other bad health things.

Your growing a microb army in the tea and the mushroom compost if top dressed with help start your Fungi army. You need both to really create a living soil.

hm... we've never put it in tea before.... (guano either... fermenting intervertebrate poops seems not-right somehow, like ^ says...)


we did a topdress experiment with mushroom and cow manures and i think the mushroom might have won by a nose (although the manures both kicked "soilless+org liq nutes" right out of the water and we loved them both)

i'm currently using prepacked mushroom compost it works just fine although i found that the blood and bone meal made my tea too aciditic,i lost 12 clones once.i only use the compost,earth worm castings,molasses,and very little guano it to can make the the tea unbalanced if used to heavy. i hope this can be of some help to you. i forgot about the bio-tone starter plus from espoma any kind of bacteria starter will do.
