While making a batch of tea today, i decided to do a little pictogram - for anyone who may be interested.
Pretty simple really, fill tea brewer to the desired level, add the dry ingredients - 2 cups each.
Add the Microbe sources, 1 gal. Rabbit poop, 2 cups Black Soldier fly frass, 2 cups worm castings, 2 cups EM-1, couple cups of undisturbed forest dirt and a cup of mollases. Plug it in and put the lid on.
Tomorrow afternoon it will be ready to go to work!

A. Couple hours later; we have a nice head of foam; a sure sign that the microbes are breeding/feeding on the inputs.

@Dirtmechanic , i consider this a “maintenance” thing. First thing in the spring after i’ve applied amendments and once later in the season as a general tonic. Inputs can vary widely, i’ve settled on this group based more on availability than anything else.
I'm sure you can recognize the nutritive value in this group, even without any microbes.
Everything likes my tea! On a year when i’ve got the time, i’ll make a batch and spray the whole yard once in the season.
