    Aerobic is allowing the air in, anaerobic, no air( like the difference between making vinegar and wine). I wanted to make compost tea this year( which I have never done) so if anyone can answer the second 1/2 of the question, with instructions on making compost tea, it would be much appreciated

    Following this discussion. I am about to soak/charge some biochar and have a nasty old bucket of soaked beef bones that have been outside for months. Wondering if the would be good or bad to include in my biochar process.

    Wow, there are different religions on this one 😉 I like oxygen for aquaponics to multiply bacteria that break down fish waste, and I like no oxygen for yogurt, kimchi, and korean natural farming.

    I have found many use no oxygen for production in methane production and they use the broken down material for fertilizer.


    The way I like to innoculate my biochar is either in the ground, or in my worm bin.

    I brewed weed water for months. Now I intend to brew only a cup if that water in a 5 gallon bucket with a bit of molasses and worm castings suspended in the water. Then I will add an aerator. I use a fish tank aerator. I’ve done that with just worm castings in a 5 gallon bucket of water and my plants responded well. Im hoping for goid results. In answer to your question, idk whuch is better. I only know what has worked for me
