    Hi, I am from India and agriculture is our family business, I wanted to ask if you can share the recipe of the worm tea and can make a more detailed video of from making, processing and applying it on 1 acer of the field. Like end-to-end process.

    I brew 6000 gallons of compost tea per day and apply it commercially for local farmers. You definitely do it in a more beautiful area though! :)

      Hello, i was wondering what kind of operation and pricing you do for your tea? And what your apply ratios are? Thanks.

    • @StriderGTS

      @@leoneuner7092 We apply 25 gallon per acre, one or two times per year, depending on the customer's wishes. We charge $15 per acre per application. It's pretty affordable given how much ground we cover. If I was doing greenhouse applications or something like that I would have to charge more.

      @@leoneuner7092 I have four 1600 gallon brewers and I brew 24-hour cycles. I used to use a bunch of different ingredients for tea but over time we've evolved into just having the absolute best compost that we can get our hands on and good chlorine-free water and just a bit of molasses.

    What are your application rates. I want to do this on 150acres of wheat here in California.

    Hi I absolutely love what you are doing, well done. I'm a suckler farmer in Ireland and am looking to grow silage via compost tea, would you think that is possible? And if yes how often would it have to be apply. And at what ration knowing that I would do it on 6 acres and how much compost would I have to make for that? Thanks

      Thanks for the interest! It is difficult to answer your question as there is not enough science behind compost tea. The normal practice is to aerate a quantity of compost in water and apply that-rate in this trial was 2-300l/ha applied 3 times. Not sure that you can over apply.
