    I make tea from scratch. All my fruit and vegetable scraps go into a pail of cold water. It sits for days as I add more and stir it regularly. I add cinnamon stir, strain dilute and boom! I need to add some molasses although mine is lovely and frothy and yummy lol as is. I learned some stuff.

    Great video! One thing I would add is that the vitC breaks down by the chlorine and chloramines into chlorides, which plants use as a nutrient as well

    I started using a electric paint sprayer to use for foliar feeding. With the adjustable pattern makes it so easy.

    Great video. Worked making compost tea for about 12 years. It breed in about 16 hours. And a little oil stops the foaming. Sometimes it spills

    Hi Dan, great video!! Totally enjoyed watching your step by step brewing and the links you placed in the comment section for sourcing all the materials. Initially came across your "Tips And Tricks For Planting Out Hugelkultur Garden Beds | + Worm Bin Update!" as in addition to raised beds, I am researching the Hugelkultur technique. My garden is currently being setup from scratch (converting section of lawn to garden area), so still looking to acquire useful tips and your video's thus far have been very helpful. I have been doing vermicomposting for a few years but just applying the castings to my indoor plants. Now I can make my own compost tea using the information you shared. Keep up the great job of posting videos, updates and location of resources - Thank you AJ.

I use aren sugar (similar to molasses, it's a local ingredient) but I have no kelp liquid.. can you suggest any other ingredient that can replace kelp but also work good as well?

  • @allenjeng3506

    thank you so much for sharing! I'm just starting our vermicompost journey and starting in my tiny apartment's patio (much much smaller scale). Say I'd like to brew 5 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon molasses, 1/2 teaspoon kelp. How much worm castings should I put in? I've tried 2 tablespoons of worm castings but I don't feel like it's bubbling enough microorganisms. Am I not adding enough molasses or kelp too?
