Is it store bought worm castings or homemade? Fresh wormcastings and black strap are the main ingredients. If you got store bought worm castings its hard to know how much biologic life there is still left. Iirc correct people would use around a handfull of worm casting and just tea spoons of the other stuff. My guess is that buildasoil web may have some instructions, have you used the search function here on the forum?

Best bubbler you can make is using airlift vortex method but it may meed a stronger pump. It gives the highest o2 levels...

I bought the pump from amazon...it says 5l per minute...it came with 2 air stones...i do have another air pump somewhere,im sure its a lot bigger....
Heres a pic of my flower bed and the air pump and the ewc

Teas are not for fucking microbes lol. They are for soluble nutes that irrigation rinses out.

You people are so fucking nuts it's a miracle you're still alive. Internet pot growers literally hate nutrients. They'll make up some bullshit about anything else and ignore nutrients.
