Been making worm tea for years. Watched many videos. This is clear, concise, and full of good ideas for additional ingredients I haven't been using up to now. Will definitely try them out! Thanks!

I love this content. I'm working on getting my setup going. I'm looking at doing a 275 gal tote at a time as I don't want to use petroleum based fertilizer on my fields. I've purchased 5k red wigglers and have a cast iron bathtub that is housing my worm farm. A couple of weeks ago, I found 50lb bags of crystallized molasses for $20/50lbs, I'm hoping this will feed the bacteria 🤑

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Going big! Nice. Let me know how it works.👌

I have started to make and dilute compost tea for foliar sprays in my vineyard, but I dilute it because it can burn grapes they are amongst the more sensitive plants and tend to have really low tolerances to some nutrients before they go from beneficial to toxic. Boron in particular can rapidly become deadly to grapes if you over apply it.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

I have not had any issues applying full strength although I have not applied it to grapes as a foliar so thanks for the info. I usually dilute my batches as well but it depends on the recipe I'm using and if I am using as a drench or foliar. Thanks for the comment.. 😉

[@pilsplease7561]

@@therealprtrhsenteal Grapes are sensitive to higher levels of Zinc, Boron and Chlorides so you have to be a little more careful with overdoing it. I have not done soil drenches because my soil is so bad that it would wash right through and do no benefit. Sand dune.

[@livinsoil]

Hi, that looks awesome. How do you clean the container?

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

The residue is rinsed out in the compost yard and the the container is air dried.

Timely video for my operation. Thank you for being very detailed from start to finish.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

You are welcome:)

[@dharmendargr8544]

Thank you for sharing very useful insights. Would like to know if you could also Do you also have plans to look into the final product through a microscope ? :) best wishes!

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

I don't have plans to evaluate under a microscope. I would first have to learn what I am even evaluating. It would be a useful skill to possess and would allow me to definitively identify what I am replicating but it is unnecessary for the average person making compost, compost tea or extract if good composting practices are adhered to. I have created this more detailed explanation in this latest video which explains my approach and rationale to composting and compost tea making: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3jNhIqPoNd9b8ksi=Guq3jJOJqHLkaeGj Thanks for watching and the question!

[@KrazyKajun602]

Do you use the tea as is or do you dilute it before applying to your soil?

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

I dilute 50/50 with wster but you could definitely dilute more and still derive benefit. 👌

[@kentuckysustainableliving3583]

Looks like a project I need to try

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Yeah buddy! Simple and pretty inexpensive. 👍

[@adriennegarcia2986]

Great video!!!

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Thank you!

[@nurd2268]

Can adding mykos make up for the same thing ???

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

I assume you are referring to mycos as an organic fertilizer which claims to introduce mycorrizal fungi to the soil. The short answer is no. In this video I am making a tea which includes bacterial and fungal food for the microbiology which I am trying to replicate from living compost in an actively aerated compost tea. Mycorrizal fungi is naturally occurring and only is present when a living plant root is present. Mycos as a fertilizer might be a useful organic product but it is different from compost tea or mycorrizal fungi.

[@carlhaggard3792]

I am brewing 200 gallons at a time if I use a submersible pump to transfer will that damage the microbes thank you. Awesome video by the way.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

I suppose it would not unless the pump was delivering the tea with a high speed impeller. I don't know this for certain however. It is only a best guess on my part. 🙂

[@carlhaggard3792]

@@therealprtrhsenteal OK well thank you for your help. I’ll let you know how it goes.

[@slaplapdog]

I like this. I'm aiming for a system that composts aerobically in water, rather than multiplying the organisms, but the build should be similar.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Let me know how it works! I would like to see how you do that.

[@SilverLining650]

Innovative ❤

Thank you! It works well. 👍

Thanks Bruce. Asparagus primarily with tomato and strawberry companions.

Since I don’t have chickens, Can I just buy some Humic acid? And how will I know how much to put in 55gal. Thank you for your time! I really like your videos.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

I add 2 tbsp. of humic acid powder or about a cup of the liquid homemade version. Here is a video with another recipe I use.kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3jNhIqPoNd9b8k Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

[@tonyfrederick4038]

Great video. I compost manure from 4 horses for my garden but have never made compost tea or worm casting tea. My question, should I used completed compost or can I use partially composted manure or aged manure ? Just subscribed.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

I prefer to use compost that has had an opportunity to mature and mellow. Since I am not observing my compost under a microscope, I have no knowledge of what is actually being replicated so I prefer to let nature and time work to balance the compost. I use compost that is at least a year old. Just my preference and how I do it on my farm. If you want to learn from someone who is an expert on soil check out Dr Elaine Ingham on youtube. Good luck 👌
