Brewing and storing guano's

I always use guano's in my teas which I usually brew every 3-4 weeks.

Would I be able to make a brew of just worm castings, seabird guano, and batguano and be able to bottle and store the mixture without having to constantly aerate the mixture?

I saw a product the other day that was a bottle mix of those 3 things, but I can't remember the name of it.

I love what guanos can add but top dressing and brewing teas can be a bit time consuming.

Thanks for any input
 
You're talking about Budswell. CC helped a guy on here not long ago on how to make it yourself. The thread is out there with a quick search.

Here it is

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=243945&highlight=budswell

I would ferment the Guano with EM1 or home made EM

Wait fore the pH to drop to around 3.5, the low pH value will give the product along slef life.

I use 50% source materiale and 45% water with 5% molasse and the add some home made EM and alittel Algea meal.

CC raise 1 important point and that is not to add the wormcastings i would love to see if the Lacto B would outcompete the bacteria from the wormcastings, so adding them would maby not be a problem, idk.

Also important is the fact that Lacto B make P more available and that what u want when u are working with P rich guano...

No problem YaaMon, i have learn alot from the Organic heads online here, so i am happy to help u.

If u dont have a pH pen u can use the gas production as a proxi fore how fare the fermentation has run, when it stop to produce gas let it sit fore some time and then u can filter it or just let it sit in the bottel..

I got some fishbone meal fermenting right now and that is so alive, that u have to be carefull when u let the gas out.

Happy fermenting
