    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, parama=

  If you are worried about contamination, try EM, citric acid, orange oil


  did I forget anything?
