I am a very small scale grower and would like to brew my own compost tea. From what I've read you either need a compost pile or worm bin. Is it possible to use store bought worm castings? Will a big bag of worm casting last more than a year or would I have to throw it out after a month?
My planned mix:
Vegetative mix-
1/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano (PSG)
1/3 cup High N Bat Guano (Mexican)
1/3 cup Earth Worm Castings (EWC)
1 TBS. Maxi-crop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
1 TBS. Liquid Karma (optional)
1 TBS. Black Strap Molasses
@6 - 7 to Tbs per 1 gallons of water every 3rd watering.
Flowering nutrient*tea*mix:
2.5TBS. Peruvian Seabird Guano
2.5 TBS. Earth Worm Castings
2.5 TBS. High P Guano (Indonesian or Jamaican)
1 TBS. Maxi-crop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract or Liquid
1 TBS. Black Strap Molasses
1 Tsp Beastie Buds/Openseame/Cha-ching
Dilute as needed. Generally, 6 - 7 to Tbs per 1 gallons of water @ every watering.
Grow medium: Coco/Perlite
I can buy these products at the local grow store but with the only bulk they sell, they will last me a long time.
Also how long will the tea stay good for if I continue aerating it? I heard two days and a week so I wanted a positive answer.
