Teas?

[Carnage]

Yeah, all I'm feeding is compost tea, run out of chemicals, to tight to by some more, organics it is

First tea was a handful of dynamic lifter, handful worm castings, a bit of blood and bone, pinch of sulphate of potash, a big glop of molasses,

and a handful of dirt out of me pot garden. got a couple of buckets on the go

Nothing has died yet, quite the opposite, looking good, a bit slow, but it was bloody cold in the shed, just bought a 4ft greenhouse heater,

made a big difference.

To late to go back to chemicals now, me smoking future is in the lap of the ORGANIC GODS

 

hey i grew like that for a couple years easy.

one day i realised i just wasnt getting the greenest leaves.

wondered what i could do to get the leaves greener while the myco was eating up the organic slop and feeding the roots.

cheap nitrogen additive for the root-feed was the answer, made plants grow faster too.

 

at bunnings they sell this big bag of mineral nitrogen for $12 or something and its massive.

giant bag of UREA , yea 1 handful of that to a 60L bin of aerated organic nutrient tea was enough to change things.

 

doesnt hurt to add a little mineral nitrogen in your plants food.

i added it to compost teas and let them brew for days and then fed my plants.

Do you have any issues with high salt content in the urea? Ive been using blood meal and find they responded very well too.

Urea can burn very easily and you dont need much at all to get the desired results.

It is a highly concentrated form of N

imho much better to make a alfalfa / lucerne seed spout tea = naturally occurring plant growth regulator triacontanol + all the start of life enzymes at germination 

no diff thought , too much & you'll mess a plant up big time

Diluted urine is not for everyone ...but is free and full of every concievable nutrient you would ever need.

Piss and wood ash, great for citrus and probably everything else.

Don't forget to piss on the compost pile

I had noticed a similar thing and did the same and added urea

I have used the urea and for n deficiency give a nice boost but ya can't use too much. Used it on a raspberry plant last year when I planted it out. Well established and has gone gangbusters last few months.

 

When making a tea do you guys add the whole lot? Liquid and the base material too or save that for the worms?

 

I went to the brew shop today for some malted barley, heard an interview with clackmus coot and he raves about malted barley. Been reading a lot about it too.

 

Before I brew up something I just wanna know kinda way.

Even aerated for a day or two, just watering with the whole mix without straining is ok?

 

Thanks
