Thanks for putting this together. I appreciate your bloopers to show that this isn't as easy as it looks. Your videos are informative and succinct and relates to home gardeners. Concerning diluting compost tea and extracts, my thinking is inverse to what you described. I make extract for roots and tea as a foliar spray as you explained. However, you said you dilute extract 1:1 and tea 1:5. I do the opposite. A lot of my research and regenerative soil/plant knowledge is from gardens of your size and larger and farming. I am trying to apply it to my small potted herb/vegetable garden and in ground (mostly fruit tree) garden as well as lawn care. From my experience, the extract (good extract/tea from good compost) allow you to dilute the microbes for distribution and inoculation for growth in the soil. This is a generally good area for microbes to colonize. The tea is brewed to maximize microbes so that the 'glue' from the microbes sticks to leaves and allows them to colonize and do their magic on the leaves. Any tea is better than none, of course, but the science leads me to believe that diluting extract (further than tea) for soil/roots makes more sense than tea. With that all said, you will find anything and everything on videos. Since most are not examining with microscopes, it is really what individually makes sense to a gardener. Thanks again, your videos are much appreciated.
It's a hydroponics pump. I'm not sure of the brand name. It's old and was given to me by my brother. I used to be able to see a model number on it, but it's all wore off. It has 4 air ports which is very nice. I can do two batches at the same time. It doesn't seem to have enough air movement to use all 4 at once though. Hydrofarm has one that is very similar to it. And thank you! 😊
Sometimes our water is almost thick with silt. The muddy water can coat the leaves of the plants not allowing them to “breath” well. I could let it settle for several days and carefully use the top without the settlement, but it’s just quicker to use the humic acid. When I have time to make compost tea… it’s time to make compost tea! 😄
I actually have never refrigerated it. I would be interesting to see it under a microscope. Maybe I'll have to give it a go. I would think without the air moving through it the microbes wouldn't live long....

Excellent video. I’ve been making worm tea for two years. I’ve learned a lot from your video today. Keep up the excellent work.
Thank you for your wonderful comment.
Absolutely great tips and information! Blessings Kiddo!🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕
Tap water could also be left in direct sun light for 24 hrs. should also help to remove the issue.

Thank you. I have blueberry bushes that aren’t doing so good
I keep coming back to your videos. It's very clear and useful. Can you please share the air pump you are using and how to get it? Thank you.

Thanks for sharing your out-takes - hilarious.
Very useful gardening information too.
Glad you enjoyed it
👍👍👍
I am constantly making tea, I add forest soil to teabag, makes excellent tea !!
Good idea! More diversity in the tea! And different fungi. 😊
Could you make a short video on how you made that circular bubbler for the tea? Also, please provide a link to the pump that you use. Thank you
Good idea!!!
@@Alisorganics Also, please include where you bought each part. Thanks again
I love your teaching style, straight to the point and just the right amount of information❤
Thank you 😊
Compost tea demystified! Always wondered how to do this. Thanks!
Thank you as well🌻
Wow she hit on everything!!
GREAT RESOURCE!!
Why can't you use the dirty water for making tea? Thank you for the excellent video! As always, so much good information.

Great video. I learned so much. What happens if I am unable to use all of the tea within an hour? Can I refrigerate it to increase its life?
I actually have never refrigerated it. I would be interesting to see it under a microscope. Maybe I'll have to give it a go. I would think without the air moving through it the microbes wouldn't live long....
Gonna try this 😊
