3 1/2 weeks roughly ... was going to take the top layer off and re stew ?

As you have only got less than one tenth the volume I would say it will be okay to open. It should have a fermented smell but could be proper rotten so I would suggest opening it outdoors. If it smells rotten then dump it.

If all is okay with it then you will need to make a compost tea to put your mix into before drenching and spraying it. I would suggest mixing it 50:50 with compost tea mate.

think ill start with part A as it was the oldest , yes i will add a air pump also .. lol here goes , if you dont hear back , the smell was too much and ill be getting resuscitated by the girlfriend LOL you might even smell it from yours

 

[MedFarmer]

As you have so much of it I would suggest only using some at a time and reseal the barrel. Once the air gets to it, it will turn opposite to what you want it to be.

If you use 2 litres of barrel stuff and 2 litres of compost tea, you will have 4 litres which is probably enough to use at once on your plants. Don't forget to save some for foliar spraying.

 

[NuttyProfessor]

it didnt smell too bad , kind of like a sweet shit lol,

 

[MedFarmer]

Is there such a thing as sweet shit?

Give it a go Paddy.

That's what you want mate, that fermented smell.

 

[NuttyProfessor]

i added part B also , just gona use the whole lot as one , be like a strong tea that i can dilute to taste lol , would that be about right

 

[MedFarmer]

How much compost tea to the barrel brew did you put?

 

[MedFarmer]

I would recommend diluting that barrel brew at least 50:50 with your compost tea. Try it on one plant only in case you have it too strong.

 

[NuttyProfessor]

thats what ill do mate , ill let iot bubble away there for another , i got a full 20 litres of the stuff you see in picture , im happy with that , i kind of want it strong so it will do my for a while , well over the summer any ways lol.... ill dilute it , and any males will be guinea pigs harrrharrr LOL

[MedFarmer]

How did you find it cutting them beets. I know when I had some for wine they were a c**t to cut.

 

[NuttyProfessor]
