Recently I found a five gallon bucket with about two inches of dried worm castings in it. I filled the bucket with water but then forgot about it for several...
John, It's hard to say without a microscope, but my guess would be that the dormant aerobic microbes in the worm castings were revitalized when you added...
Please forgive me if this question has been asked and answered many times in the past. I did a search in the message lists prior to posting this question so if...
Hudson, Diaphragm pumps work well. Eco plus is a popular brand. You want .05-.08 cfm/gallon of water in your brewer. Than means a .1-.16 cfm pump for a 2...
See now I would have said "hair dryer" but yours was much more creative! We do have a silent brewer that's rated for over 10,000 hours. I use it at trade shows...
Thank you Tad. At some point I'm going to try and find a good deal on a used microscope and test the results of my brewing efforts. Until then, I'll rely of ...
I am new to making compost tea and have no idea where to start to find a quality tea brewer for a home operation. I'm not wanting to make my own brewer but...
Marci, To be fair, I have to disclose that many people in this group have the KIS system (www.simplici-tea.com), as I work for the company and started this...
Hi Marci, As an owner of a KIS 5 Gallon brewer, our fellow host Tad has one of the easiest system on the market in terms of use, brew time, and cleanup. Not...
Thanks. I did a Google search, which just led to me more questions. I've read The Compost Tea Brewing Manual which has given me some ideas on how to evaluate a...
Good monring Marci, Tad, et. al. My opinion doesn't count for much but I'll offer it up anyway. The one consideration I feel is important when brewing a tea is...
Very good point about the noise level. Our original system sounds like a hair dryer when it's running, and it needs to go for a minimum of 12 hours. This can...
Hey, just added some photos of my tomato plant on my back porch. I am using our new soil mix, and have only added water (no fertilizer). I am a firm believer...

They are on the site. Does this link work for you? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gardening_with_compost_tea/photos/album/1073138584/pic/list It's in the photo...
Yes, thanks. JH From: gardening_with_compost_tea@yahoogroups.com [mailto:gardening_with_compost_tea@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tad Sent: Tuesday, July 26,...
hello Tad the plant looks very healthy, have you thought of doing a comparison between your new soil mix and your ACT applied to store bought soil? I tried...
Joey, I have not done a comparison like that yet. I just picked up some store bought soil though and was going to run the same plants in all 3 soils with only...
Just thought I'd share. I'm not necessarily recommending this particular company or product but it has some good info. I've done more recent research into...
Hi Guys ... I'm new here, and my 1st post I'm a landscaper, and am new to compost tea (am still learning) ... I specialize in hardy tropical/exotic style here...
... I have used rootgrow for several months now on all new plants/shrubs that I plant in gardens, but I have switched to 'Plant magic' granules which may say...
