Anaerobic tea


Question
I need a good recipe for anaerobic compost tea.How long to mix and how to tell when it is ready to put on garden?

Answer
Hi Jack, In a five gallon bucket...
two cups of compost, two cups of composted manure (from the animal of your choice), two cups of worm castings, two cups of garden soil (our microbe source), a cup of alfalfa pellets and a half cup of molasses.  Fill with day old (or de-chlorinated) water and stir.  Let it sit in the sun for a week and then apply it to the garden.
I'm not as patient as you, so I use an aquarium pump with an airstone to vigorously aerate the mixture for 24 hours then apply to the garden immediately.  Jim
