This works great for supercharging vermicompost tea. No need
for a microscope to see that the microbe population has gone
through the ceiling. No smells left, including that of the
molasses.
Color changes from clear to cloudy, like apple cider -- I assume
the cloudiness is the microbes themselves. Rough bioherd
headcount could maybe be figured by slowly lowering in a ruler until
the end is no longer readable. Anyone know?

Mix in proportions of 1 gallon tea, 2 tbsp molasses. Submerge air
stone connected to aquarium pump into the tea. Let brew 24 -48
hours. Soup is on.

Does this same process work with bacterial sources other than
worm castings? Would healthy garden soil yield cultures of
useful bacteria that could be used to revive other areas of
organically dead soil?
