Tea Advice??

I was wanting to make my own tea. Only a small batch for now, but I wanted to incorporate (as I already have) the following additions to the pure H20:

alfalfa meal
kelp
earthworm castings
rare earth (humic acids)
brewer's yeast
molasses
mycorrhizae
*gypsum (not sure if this would work in the "sock" to keep things a little loose) just my thoughts.

But I am hesitant to start because I want to do it right, and I have read so much on different recipes for different amounts and which additions to put first/last, and how long to leave each set of additions brewing. I know this sounds like a lot, but any help would be appreciated.

Just take your jug, bucket or other brewing receptacle, throw your ingredients in, mix in a gallon or half gallon of de-chlorinated water and then put your airstone in to bubble for a day or so. The amounts of whatever you put in really doesn't matter too much. There are lots of threads in this forum with recipes and suggestions.

Start with a few ingredients; take a cup of the earthworm castings, 1/4 cup alfalfa meal, a tablespoon kelp and a tablespoon molasses to a gallon of water and allow that to bubble for a day.

nullis nails it again... thread over ;)

uhh... not sure about the brewers yeast. i've have no evidence it is beneficial yet, but the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. i'd go with a home-made lacto bacilli culture if you want to step it up DIY, but the EWC has plenty of life to brew up. what kind of myco? just endo? bateria/fungi blend?
good luck, peas

Thanks Nullis, Matt,

What is home-made lacto bacilli culture? and I have two kinds of Myco. I have EJ Rooter's Myco and another One is from a local nursery and it has Scleroderma, rhizopogon, glomus mosseae, pisolithis tintorius, humate, zeolite and kelp.

Tea Advice??
I was wanting to make my own tea. Only a small batch for now, but I wanted to incorporate (as I already have) the following additions to the pure H20:

alfalfa meal
kelp
earthworm castings Very Good
rare earth (humic acids) Very Good
brewer's yeast (not sure about this I have never seen it referenced in any research or garden tips and expect it would destroy more do good. The yeast would convert any sugars to alcohol and take food from the microbe army your trying to grow??)
molasses Very Good 1/2 tbs per gallon
mycorrhizae Don't need this your growing your own but what the heck
*gypsum (not sure if this would work in the "sock" to keep things a little loose) just my thoughts. ( hummmmmm???? see comment above)

Nullis gave you good advice.

You can let it bubble for 4 days if you like, much longer and slime forms on the bag and you run out of food for the microbe army and they start to die.​
