Hey guys, got some questions on Ph for compost tea.

My tap water, after dechlorination, is pretty high. It’s in the 7-8 range. I usually ph down to 6-7 for watering.

is it necessary to Ph down my compost tea? I just brewed one up with: 1cup earthworm castings, 1 cup fish emulsion, 1TBSP bio live and vegan mix from down to earth.

The Ph after a 24 hour brew period, in dechlorinated tap water, was 8-9. Do I Ph down? Do I let it be?

I would figure to Ph down to not raise the soil Ph to unwanted levels.

what’s the input on Compost Tea Ph?

The water pH should be between 6.5 and 7.5 when brewing compost tea.

Should the water be at 6.5-7 before the tea is brewed?

I didn’t bother to Ph down before because I figured the compost tea would make the Ph rise again.

should I Ph down again today nice the tea is brewed?

I have heard that the microbiology sorts out the Ph in the soil. Is this a myth?
