This is what's in my veg tea

1/3 cup worm castings
5 table spoons sea weed extract
5 table spoons mollasses
this is mixed into five gallons of water

My flowering tea consists of

2/3 cups earth worm castings
2/3 cups flowering bat guano
5 table spoons of fox farm peace of mind flowers and vegetables organic fert
5 table spoons mollasses

If I read correct it said to put 1 cup per five gallons. Is this correct?

Thank u I will try 3 cups to be safe
To 5 gallons of good water I add 5 cups of work castings, 2 tablespoons molasses, 5 tablespoons humic acid and aerate. You must keep sunlight from the tea as UV kills the microbes. You want it to be around 70 degrees water temperature.

I use it after 24 hours if I want a bacterial tea.

If I want a fungi tea I add any fruit I have around. Just made one with watermelon and apples. Fungi ready after another 24 hours. Adding kelp helps with fungi also.

Plants create exudates from their roots by photosynthesis. Exudates feed the bacteria, fungi etc. and when the bacteria and fungi die or are eaten then their nutirents are released for the plant to absorb.

Same goes for the nematodes, protozoas, earthworms, etc.

The fungi threads can reach very far and bring nutrients to the plant.

Be gentle when applying. Microbes are easily damaged
