I have looked at a lot of recipes for aerated compost tea and the best I could find for 5 gallons is:

5 gal. chlorine free water
1/2 tsp fish hydrolosate
2 cups worm castings or 2 cups compost
2 TBS sulfur free Black Strap Molasses
1/2 TBS Kelp Meal

This was posted awhile back. Has anyone used this? Does anyone have a better recipe. Has anyone tried the brewing mix sold by Ron Wallace?

Curtlave, are you using your own worm castings and compost and, if not, where do you get them? I don't raise worms and my compost is not the best.I have started to look for sources. Maybe I can get worm castings at a bait store? The ones for sale may not having anything living in them.

Thanks Curt. I will look around locally. I will bet that one of the bait stores have them. They just might be raising their own worms. Also I will talk to the local farm agent. I plan on buying the worm castings and improving my own compost. Bubba, the article on ACT was a good one. Thanks to you for that.

I cannot find any worm growers locally. The bait stores here buy their worms from Canada and have them shipped. I hope I don't have top start growing worms to get fresh castings for my tea.

Home hardware used to sell it in Can. Try a local hardware store that handles gardening supplies. Just a thought.
