Added some fresh(er) composted cow poop to the brewer for the
nitrogen content. Let that brew for 24 hours, add it tomorrow.
Gotta be careful with nitrogen on young plants---they need it
like crazy but too much will burn them. Thankful for my many
years of experience in this area.

Rectangular bucket 9"x9"x14" tall---small submersible water pump
with a top discharge feeding a fountainhead just above the water
level---aquarium air pump feeding a small airstone. Circulates
and aerates the tea. Makes three gallons at a time.
The compost goes into a reusable mesh bag, otherwise it would
clog up the pump.
More leftover equipment from my cannabis growing days.
I make a larger brewer in garden season from a 55-gallon drum,
an industrial-sized air pump and some perforated 3/4" tubing.
Doesn't need a pump to circulate because the aerator creates
plenty of movement.
Plants love this stuff. The difference is definitely noticeable.
Hoping to start a worm farm this spring. Their castings are
about the best fertilizer you can get. Adding that to the tea
will make it even better.
The trailer park maintenance crew clears a patch of lakefront a
couple times a year---I harvest the plant material they dredge
out, dry it and add that too. Rich stuff.
No chemical fertilizers used down at DanO's farm.
E-I-E-I-O!

Switched over this morning from a 6-lamp T5 lighting fixture
(324W) to a 400W metal halide HID fixture. More lumens, bigger
footprint. Did another application of fertilizer---all
naturally-derived. Plants are doing EXTREMELY well. Looking
forward to a good growing season :)

I crave vegetables. Got to have them at least once a day. Rather
snack on carrots than chotato pips.
