5 gal bucket
1/2 shovel of compost or forest dirt. 1 cup worm dirt / castings 1 Tablespoon Azomite (optional) 2 or 3 alfalfa horse cubes or other alfalfa source (optional) 3 or 4 Tablespoons unsulfured molasses (critical) Fill bucket with water, rain water, tap water... Go to paint supply place and get a couple free 5 gallon wooden stir sticks. The molasses will feed the tea. Bubbles or foam will appear on surface, kinda like sourdough starter, this is good. Stir the bottom. you can strain and use after a couple of hours...or wait until the next day. I made a strainer, that looks kinda like a four legged stool, that fits over a 5 or 6 gal bucket, the seat area is screen wire (like from a window). 5 min. and I'm through. I threw my aerator devices away. |
