Tea ! That aint Lipton baby.....
I have used it for years ! Sea weed and plant parts! Manures! Air pump is the best way to go .. It just needs some bubbles .. then poor it around the plants . You can see the plants like it .. Lots of people do not like to use it because it can smell wile being fermented. It can smell wile using it .. Fish emulation is nothing more the fish tea. And yes I have made fish tea also .. You need to dilute it! I use 25% tea 75% water . I spread it on the out side of the drip line of any plant I feed it to . Ive used it on Banana, Papaya, Citrus, Avocado, Was going to use it on my lychee tree but the dag gum snails

ate my tree!
Now I am lychee-tree-less
try it on a plant you single out and see what you think! I just had a Williams that just seemed not to grow in a 5 gallon bucket. Same soil as the others had but it just stayed small/wimpy a few months ago I gave it sea weed tea.. Richard has informed me in one of his posts that sea weed is a growth hormone . Or it acts as one .. I believe it .. That Williams has now started to grow like a normal banana..
