Black Gold - Compost Tea: Part 1

The day has finally arrived. I am now making probiotics for plants. Remember when my plants almost died several times? Yeah that was bad bacteria...it go an infection. It's time to improve the plants' immune systems: enter compost tea.

First here is some of the recent progress my roots have made.

Now that is a healthy leaf. They have gotten bigger, but aren't super amazing yet. This guy has been through a lot. Let's start out healing campaign.

Acquire a fermentation vessel, air stone, earth worm castings, and amazing mycorrhizal bacterial and fungi culture. Also molasses for food!

Add some earthworm castings to the pitcher and add water. Now add the miracle powder.

Endomycorrhizal fungi: Glomus intraradices, Glomus mosseae, Glomus aggregatum, Glomus monosporum, Glomus clarum, Glomus deserticola, Gigaspora margarita, Gigaspora etunicatum, Paraglomus brasilianum

Ectomycorrhizal fungi: Laccaria bicolor, Laccaria laccata, Pisolithus tinctorius, Rhizopogon villosullus, Rhizopogon luteolus, Rhizopogon amylopogon, Rhizopogon fulvigleba, Scleroderma cepa, Scleroderma citrinum, Suillus granulatus

Biological Disease Control Organisms: Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma konigii

Beneficial Bacteria: Azotobacter chroococcum, Bacillus azotoformans, Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus pumilis, Bacillus thuringiensis, Paenibacillus durum, Paenibacillus polymyxa, Pseudomonas aureofaceans, Pseudomonas fluorescense

Specially Formulated Amendments: Kelp, Humic Acid, Vitamins

These little bacteria need food. They like molasses...dilute some in water and add it!

Now add your air stone. They need to breathe!

Now set aside for 2 days and let it brew. Can't wait for part 2. And yes, I put the lid back on it you curious George's.
