Hi Mark,
Do you have a proper brewing set up, with adequate aeration? How much tea do you need? To my recollection, for a five gallon bucket of tea, I would use about 2 cups fresh bioactive worm castings, 2 cups of quality aerobic bioactive finished compst, and about 1/4 cup organic unsulfured black strap molasses. I would add a few gallon size doses of liquid kelp, according to the mixing instructions of the jug, and the same with quality fish hydrolyze to foiler feed. They help maximize nutrition boosting immunity. It has to be hydrolyze though. Start by adding your unchlorinated water, let it aerate for an hour, add the tea bag of compost, then molasses and other ingredients, except the fish hydrolyze. Brew under aeration at room temperature for 18 hours; then add the fish hydrolize, brewing for another 6 hours, then strain and dillute by at least 5 parts water to spray leaves.
Using the fish hydrolyze, I never had problems with foiler feeding, but for your application its probably not necessary. Fish emulsion will cause problems and disease in foiler feeding, never use it for that.
Hope that helps.
