Alfalfa tea in 5 gallon bucket

Here is my 5 gallon bucket of alfalfa tea. Just add water and let it brew without a lid for up to 10-12 days. I will use mine before day 8 because of our high temps.

Batch of alfalfa tea almost ready

I have been making a batch of alfalfa tea in a 5 gallon bucket for the garden. It has been about 5 days so far and it seems like it's just about ready to be used. I plan on using it as a foliar spray and then pour any left overs over the soil to drench the plants. I've read to let it brew for up to 12 days in the winter months. Since it's been in the 80's here recently,  plan to use it before day 8. I stir it at least once a day with a large stick to add oxygen. My method is to pack  as much alfalfainto a 5 gallong bucket as I can, then fill with water.

No rain yet...maybe Friday?

Well the storm never hit us today. The thunder struck a few times which was fun, but no water from the sky. The news is saying maybe Saturday.

I went ahead and did the organic foliar feeding. The seaweed extract,  fish emulsion and vinegar in a 1 gallon spray pump.
