Far as using anaerobic teas, I have several uses for them:
1. They make great compost stockpile activators. Large compost piles can easily digest stinky and anaerobic materials very fast by large aerobic microbial colonies.
2. If your compost pile is low on "greens", and abundant on "browns", these teas work great for that purpose too.
3. They are great for feeding winter cover crops or as winter soil drenches. In the winter seasaon, soil microbial activity is slow anyway.
4. They are great for all my diluted homemade pesticide recipes.
5. Used in full strength and in abundant frequent amounts, (and using lots of stinky, high nitrogen, "greens" in it), they make great natural herbicides.
6. They are great for use in warm seasons as soil drenches if diluted big time (at least 1:10 to 1:20 dilution ratio) in order to guarantee no plant foliage or root burns. I never use straight anaerobic teas as foliar applications!
I mostly use my pleasant smelling aerobic tea recipes for everything else in all my soil building or plant fertilzation or plant health or plant protection needs.
Happy New Year!
