What a odd title, Must be a wtf question, right ?

Yes and no , Ive been reading into compost teas and find it fascinating.
http://microbeorganics.com/ --> Great information there,sucked the whole site for my collection.

So there is 3 questions:

1- i have been buying a health product for a few years now and love it --> http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/vibrant-health/green-viberance.html.
Based on what is in the product, (I expect you guys to read whats in it) What do you guys think about using it in a compost tea?

2- What is too much for a compost tea, Is there such thing as too much ?

3- Ive used a compost tea i have made, and there is some green mold growing on some of the soil, What can this be from and how to prevent this ?

---POST EDIT
4 question , lol, Ive read about using mushroom compost in teas and manures, but what about using fresh dried mushroom powders, they have great benefits on humans, I have bought and been using reishi chaga and cordyceps mushroom and wanted to know about using these along with roots and other crazy plants in the teas.

The question is - regardless of what is in your vitamin mix (i didn't read it), is it in a usable form for a plant?

Yes you can do too much compost tea. I like to do two waterings back to back, then water two times, and repeat.

Mold, I dunno. Is it harming your plant?

Get some local (aged) manure or vermi-compost and put it in a bucket with some molasses and kelp meal (1 qt manure to 5 gal water), put an aquarium pump in that baby for 24 hrs and dilute anywhere from 10:1 to 5:1.

I prefer worm compost, it does a great job with overall health and vitality, ie disease and pest resistance.

Let us know what you find out, peace!

Please read what is in it, it defeats the purpose of posting a link up in the first place, and we would skip me having to reply to a question that im asking in the first place.
So i will not asnwer it , you can look it up yourself, that is if you yourself know what is usable for a plant.

Sorry but what i meant by using too much, is not diluting it or watering too much, but putting to much in your compost tea while its brewing, Reactions of different plants, extracts, manures, you name it , you can think of it , Put it in and let me know what you think if there is such thing as too much.

The mold is not harming my plants as far as i can tell, But as soon as i see the mold growing i ret and remove it, And cover it up with some fresh soil.
The mold is a biggie since im curious to know what can cause this, maybe something particular i have mentioned in the first question??? ( read please whats inside, and share your feedback) Im no expert.

I havent found out much then i already knew, as the topic is pretty straight forward. experience takes the lead.

Thank you and if i sounded kinda upset or rude, dont worry about it, I wasn't.

I was rummaging through a pile of herbalife overflow from a family member maybe yesterday and had the same thought. By the looks of things doing a controlled experiment would be your best bet. My guess would be with probiotics doing there job soluability isn't an issue. Made my own l.a.b w/rice water and milk gonna give it a whack myself. It'd be pretty nice to go to the dollar store and get nutes for nothing. What a rackit society created.
