I've been top dressing with Peruvian seabird guano, seems to be working fine.
Perhaps stirring my tea with a stick and letting it sit in the hot sun for a couple of hours before use would stimulate growth that is just as effective to the soil as letting it bubble for 24 hours?
Okay so this gets to the fundamental question: Is there a diverse web of organisms in my tea if I don't Aerate it?
~brew too long the predators eat all the prey. no good.
sounds like some expensive compost to make. why not just use the finished compost and EWC in your recipe?
what concerns me now is that having composted the guano, i probably can't expect the compost's NPK to be similar to the original profile of the guano
i been formulating potting mixes by growth stage and figuring the ratios for so long - but i see that it's basically making sure it's there (NPK/etc) in a living mix -then the plant and the microbes ration it out
i actually think that using NPK ratios and box additives over the years i have been unwittingly doing just that - i only thought i was in control
