Ok, ive seen a few posts on ways to feed outdoors.
this is a method i came up with thats good for a few plants to alot of plants- its all how much effort it will take and what your inclined to do. i have taken plenty of photos and will look like there are alot of steps but i did this so anyone can see exactly what to do step by step. that way no one can get lost in the thread with all directions and no pics (i hope you understand)
anyway here we go, you will need:
a funnel
a couple small containers
a couple larger dishes ( i have one dish and one bowl) of good size- the more tea you need to make the bigger the dishes and the more medium you use of course....
water of good quality
medium ( i have perlite for the bottom of the containers so particulate is minimal but this really doesnt matter if you dont have perlite as this is for outdoor plants not hydro)
for medium i have worm castings, cow manure, and mushroom compost
now take your container that you wish to put the medium into (im using this little one because i only need one regular sized bottle of water full of tea per plant. my plants are a couple weeks old.... bigger plants can take more of a stronger tea):
now fill with medium, i started with perlite but you dont have to:
then i added my castings:
then my composts, mushroom first:
then cow manure and set the container on your trey of choice. (i picked this one so it will pour easy:
Now pour your water into the container slowly:
Lift up on the container to let water drain easier:
now keep pouring water as it drains:
make sure you have your bowl handy:
Now pour off the tea into the other container so we can steep it agian:
Have to break up thread- to many photos:
