Mulch, or maybe some clover or something? A cover crop?

after much searching, i found a few comments saying GG4 can have a heavy yield. But it wasn't clear if they meant outdoor....

I'm thinking repeated fresh waves of good micro-organisms will indeed compete and eat all the food, meaning 1000 good guys vs. each bad guy, and then a few days later we do it again. And sure, each wave leaves behind some good nutes... but mainly, the bad guys never have a chance. But I don't...

It might take three seasons to get perfect soil if you really know what you're doing. But even with perfect soil, I think flooding the soil with good microbes denies food and space to the bad ones. That's what I've read... so its not just nutrition...

Aerated Composted Tea not only provides good microbes, bacteria and fungi, who feed the plants, but those microbes also occupy the space and consume the food that would otherwise encourage bad microbes and larger pests. I have no experience using ACTs, but here is what I've found from googling...

On a 107 degree day in late august, 10 gallons was good for 2 days. I never needed more than 10G for any 2 days. I've used 5G on three consecutive days a few times.

this is my 3rd year, first organic

Wait, you give a 4 gallon pot six gallons of water on hot days?

I think I could dilute with another 2 gallons, and give another 3 gallons on an off day. If they need more water then I may need more tea.

A mix of fine compost and aged forest bark, plus Pumice, Crustacean Meal, Kelp Meal, Fishbone Meal, Bat Guano and other premium ingredients.

Green tarps on the fence? Climbing vines that get thick? Park the van in front of the garden?

Something like this?

So, every 3 days, each plant gets 2/3 of a gallon of tea plus a gallon of water. I could have just said that, sorry. Then they skip a day, and then another gallon of water on the 3rd day.

Please check my thinking here.... This plan is "general" to help me check my understanding of the compost tea process. I know I'll have to make daily adjustments based on weather, plants, etc. Assume I'm growing 18 outdoor trees in 100-gallon soil bags, with lots of pumice etc. I want a 3-day...

Right, for this season I need confidence, so I'm willing to spend a bit.

I'm thinking of using the EJ products for my grow this summer. I'm using 100-gallon bags with a loamy, balanced compost. This will be my first organic grow. I have the information from the website. I'll add Azomite for the minerals. Does anyone have any advice for me? THANKS!
