I do make compost tea and alfalfa tea at times (aerated for three

but this is just a kitchen leftovers smoothie and I pour it right on. I
figure the soil microbes will eat what they want.
Dang, I always forget to mention using Epsom salt, too.

Sounds interesting. I've never tried that.

My experiment is really growing food (tomatoes) on the cheap and see how
it goes. I or anyone can go get all the meals and pricey fish emulsion and
Biozome and expensive potting soil, and create some $5 each tomatoes, but
that won't help people who can't afford that.
Coincidentally, my tomato plants were really taking off, but looking a
little yellow on the tops yesterday when I wrote to this thread. This
morning, they're all back to a nice healthy green. Was it the smoothie? Who
knows, but that's what I did...

I'm always interested in growing on the cheap!
