Keep it simple with the ewc tea. 3 gallons of RO water. Add 1-2 cups of ewc and just a tad of molasses and that is it

this is the basic recepie i read from onr of the icmag members,i got some questions about this
when u say earth worm castings is that the same as humus earth worm castings
-do i need to boil the mixture or just mix it
-do i need to strain it so the matter stays and just the solution passes
-can i use it with kristal chemical fertilizers
-do i need to use molasses is there something else i can use couse i dont have molasses in my town but the delivery takes 2 days and i have a slime infestation in my hydro setup killim my plants and me mentaly,so is the molasses use to feed the BB can i use something else for it

Use the search function here on icmag and search for "EWC tea" or "ACT Tea" in the title and you will be overwhelmed. Organic soil section has some of the more interesting threads.

And yes, from what i have done molasses is the ticket. None at the grocery store?

yeah, molasses is the ticket, i get mine at a feed store

bro...to make your EWC tea...take a cup of EWC and dump it into 5 gals of de/non-chlorinated water and bubble it for about a day or 2. Thats all there is to it, however, you can add Liquid karma and black strap molasses to the mix to bump it up with extra goodies and shit. Its really not that hard, just dive right in...its only worm shit.

Yeah - pretty much as solarz says. It is not rocket science. I use a 5 gal bucket and put 3.5 to 4 gal of water (I use RO). I use a nylon stocking and put an air stone in the bottom of the stocking then put a cup or more of worm castings in the stocking so the air stone is in the worm castings.. I use about 70ml of molasses mixed in the water. I hang the stocking into the bucket, @ 1/2 into the water. I use a 2 air pumps. 1 to bubble the water under the stocking and one to bubble the EWC inside the stocking.
You don't even need to use the stocking. You can just throw the stuff into the water and bubble for 36 to 48 hours or until frothy and "strain" and use. The amount of air is critical to make good tea. Microbeman says to use .05 to .08 cfm per gallon.

Now search for this stuff here. Microbeman is a good one to read.

i have an infestation of slime,so can i let it bubble for 4-6 hours before use,will that make it work or do i strictly need 24 + hours to bubble it

[solarz]
