Ok duly noted thanks

But in premade teas u can buy its in almost everyone is there a more water souluble calcium idea

I use egg shells.
But I don't know how effective it cuz it takes so long to decompose i just grind em up real fine and feed em to my worms and brew that in my tea

I use azomite and dolomite in my teas along with 2-3 cups of castings and about 1/2 a jar of mollasses atm

This is being brewed in a 35 gallon bin :D

as far as how much azomite and dolomite i just took a handful and threw it in.

Molasses is to feed microbes

Castings need something to feed on in order to multiply .. Sugar = food source for microbes.. as is the dolomite and azomite :D
