Thanks Jason! Everything was so helpful and I am sure that my students won't have any trouble in preparing a strong nutrient tea in no time! Please let me know, in your opinion, what would be a strong phosphorous additive, since a lot of Indian native plants require tremendous amounts during flowering. Thank you again! Cheers!
Added Response: Phosphorus is one of the harder nutrients to provide for with this strategy. Bone meal, a very common slaughterhouse product, may be one solution to your problem....but if you are in India there may be religious objection to using it. Many bat and seabird guanos are high in Phosphorus, but you often have to disturb protected species to obtain it if it is not purchased. Lastly, clean wood ash is almost all Phosphorus, but just a small amount will change the pH of your solution considerably. These are just items off the top of my head, and with a little more research I believe you can find a more suitable local material that will yield the Phosphorus you need without a lot of other issues. Hope this helps!
