Deeply Rooted
Okay I made some compost tea. I was doing really well with it, but I kind of forgot to dump the 35 gallon trashcan and it rained a lot. I just stirred it up and added it to the garden. Some of my plants aren't doing well, mostly it's the young ones. Is there a rule of thumb on how long I can keep compost tea before starting a new batch?
What can I do with this batch? I want to put it on the grass around my garden fence, but what if it doesn't kill the grass, just fertilizes it. I don't want to risk putting it on my plants again.
Recipe:
1 gallon chicken manure partially composted
1/2 jar molasses
1 oz fish emulsion
several hands full of chick weed
2 oz blood meal
Filled the 35 gallon trash can to almost the top and stirred every day for 2 days and used on the garden.
Filled container back with some water and continued to stir every day for 2 days and used on the garden.
Rained like gang busters, stirred and used on the garden and now 2 squash starts don't look so well. Rest of plants I used it on look great.
Opinions?
