This recipe is for making an aerated compost tea. I agree that people confuse the two.
So you don't agree with the statement regarding the minerals adding support for the fungal hypae? I guess there's different theories floating around.
Good to know about the humic acids in your testing. I will try just adding that as a separate watering for those other benefits.
Thanks for your input.
I use a 51 l/min pump for a 5 gallon brewer. Just make sure it's getting good dispersion throughout the bucket. Oh, and that the compost is not just sitting in a clump or falling to the bottom of the container. If it's in a mesh bag, you may need to run a diffuser directly into the bag.
Touche....that obviously needs fixing....I'd drop the rate down to 1/2 T. too if you do decide to add it to the tea. :)

Very important to make that distinction, it is and can be confusing for many people.Peat does work for microbial activity, provided you have a good source. I'd get the minerals in the soil mix, rather than add them as a tea.
Are you trying to make a 'nutrient' tea or an 'aerated compost tea'? I think this is something that people get confused on. One has a goal of added nutrients, the other of added biology.
Lastly, I think the claims of humic acid as a good fungal food are highly overstated. Done some testing in conjunction with Tim and neither of us got good fungal growth from the humic acid (I tried a couple of the top US brands). I think it has other benefits though.....
Ooo! Very nice work.For your review:

I was hoping the creator of the aerator would post the directions for making your aerator. If it's easier, contact me @ rl5759jl@gmail.com. Thank youFor your review:
