Hey everyone it's been a while since I made ACT, Aerated compost tea. I been going over all the info around this site and have a few questions about the way I'm brewing and what I use.
I start by using a five gallon bucket I have two flat disc air stones running to a 8 liters per minute pump. I brew two gallons at a time using reverse osmosis water.
Next I add :
bennies that are pre mixed with Kelp 1 tsp per gal.
Half cup per gallon earthworm castings.
molasses 2 tablespoons per gallon.
2 tablespoons per gallon Dr earth rose and flower.
I let this brew for about 30 hours. dilute 4:1 water:tea
I know that a bucket is not the best way and have plans for a vortex type brewer.
I only use the Dr earth stuff cause it was the only source for alfalfa near to me. it also has bennies, rock phosphate, seaweed extract, fish meal, kelp, and other stuff that probably doesn't do anything for the tea.
I bought guanos but read that they don't help teas very much and are better off mixed in the soil.
My main concerns are that the tea is not aerated enough. is there any way to know if my tea is getting enough air
