Making Compost Tea

I'm making a new batch of compost tea and have been trying to make the highest quality tea that I can. A five-gallon batch covers my small garden pretty thoroughly. This is my third batch and I can notice an improvement already. Think the plants love it... Great stuff.

whats the catalyst made of?

[garygardens]

@jean9910 The worm compost catalyst contains seaweed extract, humic acid, mineral powder and some other things. I get it from grow organic dot com.

hey gary what ever happend to the worms, after update 3 i cant seem to find anything else on your worm bin.?

[garygardens]

@tlgarza05 Yea, I've been lax in updating the worm composting. I'm nearly ready to put a new tray on and harvest some castings so I'll do a video on that.

can i use fish oil from supplement capsules? thanks in advance :)

[garygardens]

@JeusisLord1 I'm not quite sure how you want to use the fish oil. Adding it to the worm tea or instead of the tea? There are many fish-based garden supplements but I'm not sure about the oil. Good question.

@garygardens Ill let you know after I water my plant hahah :D God bless :D

@spacehma Thanks. You certainly have warmer weather than we do. Even during our summer, your winter temps would be warm here. I'd say you could put compost tea on as often as you liked. The more, the better. There's nothing in it that would harm a plant although too much would probably be a bit wasteful. It's great stuff for sure.
