You won't burn the plants.

Answers to your questions are not arriving to my brain yet. Would you be opposed to running the material through the bin again? It could be a nice cover to added foods scraps to get them going. This would get their fluffy structure back. You have not really lost anything that way as they would be useful on their second but much quicker time through.

Shaul,

Vermicompost won't burn plants at all...even used 100%. Neither will 100% vermicastings or any percentage. No cutting or diluting of it is necessary, although if sprayed, it will be diluted some and will cover more area. One of the founding principles of this thing we do is the truth of those facts.

AVCT is a leached out liquid version of VC that has, thru the process of AERATION (to give the biological life expanding within the mixture the oxygen needed to survive), and having access to foodstuff (ie molasses), giving you the means to spread the goodness that is VC to all plant surfaces...even leaf surfaces, etc.

As for SAJC, that stuff is a myth. It is, even at worst, a form of VCT. And BTW, even that stuff has worth other than as a soil additive. But none of it provides fertilizer-like properties because healthy plants and soil do not need artificial fertilizers.

Healthy plants and soils is what you'll achieve using VC and AVCT.

Hello Shaul!

The same kind of thing has happened to me a few times

. The first time I dried it out in a cardboard fruit box.It turned hard as concrete, so I busted it up amd mixed it with dry stuff.

The last time it happened, the whole tub became top dressing for my plants.

I like the idea of running it back through the system if you don't need it soon.

Good luck! Pete

Thanks for the responses. Sorry I couldn't get back to this before now. What I think I'll do is suspend a colander over a 5-Gal. bucket and drain off as much liquid as possible; and then maybe add it back into the system. My only question is: If I add Molasses to the water and then bubble it for 24 hours (like making fresh AVCT), will that reactivate the micro-organisms? Because if not, then there's no sense wasting either the Molasses or the time and I'll just pour it out on the plants. Also I made up that 'SACJ' (to indicate something totally devoid of any qualities, sort of like using sand instead of castings).

For a good solution, add biochar (horticultural charcoal) for an adsorptive that will provide a home for the microorganisms to live on when you add the mix to the soil. We add one cup of a blend of vermicompost and biochar to five gallons of water to make a liquid organic plant food. The residue of innoculated biochar then becomes a fantastic soil amendment.

Please explain for simple me the difference between absorb and adsorptive. I have tried several times through out the years but it has not been absorbed umm adsorped ummm ? See the confusion?
