You're so careful about what ingredients you use, and now your considering using a dead mouse as your tea ingredient? :) New tea time

Let that tea sit for a bit
W/air pumping thru it
w/sum Mole Ass's as food..
and the Microbes will consume it..
U guys all sound a bit squeamish to be doing Organics.
Stop for a second...and think about what U R saying..
Do u know how toxic a tea made from "Room temp shellfish shells" is to a Human? Or Bat Guano?
But..
Humans also have a Natural fear of the fly larvae (Maggots)
and they fail to realize that Maggots ONLY consume Dead flesh and their waste product...is an anti Bacterial.
(They consume Death and leave a clean place for life to resume in their path)
Once it runs thru the Digestive system of the Micro-Herd and it taken up by our plants...@ an atomic level....
Its Harmless

Grow on....try it on one plant....and have a look see what it does

The Only drawback I see is Smell....it may have an offensive odor while Brewing

I kinda agree that it could be alright but was that mouse truly Organic? We don't know..

It may have had a petro-chemical addiction and died from it's last fix of poisons.

If i add mice I'll be sure they are 100% organic. LOL




Just making a joke friends..

Wow, seems like I opened a big ol' can of worms here. (organic worms but still...)

'cos I only have one plant flowering now (micro-grow) I poured the tea on the outside plants and some of the lawn, just to see if it does anything. My biggest fear was introducing spider mites into the grow and ruin everything.

This batch of tea was already an experiment with the prawn shells and banana skins and stuff and I don't think a mouse in the mix could help it, I posted on the off chance that maybe it would be ok, but in the back of my mind I knew it's not a good idea.

But a laugh in this crazy world is a laugh. So play mice people... erm nice.

From now on I keep a lid on the tea and keep it off the ground.

I remember reading a bokashi thread on another board where this woman found a mouse somewhere in the center if her bin after the fermentation was complete. She had trouble recognizing it because the hair had been completely dissolved. Just this puffy lump of flesh...

mmmm.... mickey pickles

That will make Microbeman and quadracer happy!

haha. I actually have a really big mouse problem, so the less of the little bastards around the better. Everything is stored in mason jars in the kitchen. My current mouse trap has about 20+ mice under its belt.

Kill the mice, just don't waste the tea. Haha.
