Could anyone please post some of their recipes and brew times for ACT.
I would love to give them a go.
Thanks.
Dave.



10 pounds of compost (mix of 75% worm, 25% thermal composts)
1 pound of kelp (Maxi-Crop, Acadian, Sea Kelp, or check the label
                    to make sure no toxic levels of anything)
1 gallon humic acid (Hydrahume, Terra Vita, Horizon Ag or Turf Pro
                     liquid products all seem to work really well)
 
For extra fungal punch, add a half cup of pablum
 
------------------------------
Alternative ingredients:
 
Instead of kelp:
algae (e.g., blue-green cyanobacteria), rock dusts or rock flours,
paramagnetic material
 
Instead of humic acid: Use Neptune's Harvest or Organic Gem fish
hydrolysates, protein meals like alfalfa meal, soy meal, oatmeal, barley meals, etc.
 
If you are worried about contamination, try EM, citric acid, orange oil
 
 
did I forget anything?
