Probably always a good idea to just let the chlorine gas out over 24 hours but really, depending on where you live, the chlorine levels once it comes out the sprayer or faucet, it's already being exposed to air & studies have shown that in certain regions in the US and most of Canada don't have enough chlorine to completely decimate bacteria populations in soil or in that canister of tea. It's meant for closed pipe systems and the further you live from the treatment plants, the less supply of chlorine you'll have in your water. Plus it's safe to drink immediately and the bacteria populations killed in soil kill usually build right back up quickly unless it was an intense concentration like it pools or treatment plants

I'm new to gardening and have watched a lot of you tube videos. now I used a weelie bin to make compost and after a while I thought I'd better make a gateway in the bin to be able to shovel it out, so I drilled a hole in the bin and it started to leak this brown liquid that I now know was leachate. I tried to catch it in a bucket but a lot of it leaked onto my lawn I was worried it might burn the lawn but it's turned the lawn much greener now I'm trying to make more so I can do the rest of the lawn.

OK I may have missed it but they do mention the stomata. Those are pores mainly on the under side of plant leaves that open in early morning before the sun gets high. Mainly before 9am the earlier the better for foliar spray. Otherwise you would be wasting your time, mid afternoon they are closed so do what you will with that info. I like to liquid seaweed to my worm tea and it adds something like 70 minerals.

I was planning on top dressing my potted plants with worm castings along with foliar feeding with tea this spring. I know you said foliar feeding isn't enough alone. Will my original plan suffice? I don't know how to mix fertalizers. Also. The corn syrup is leaving shiny spots on my leaves. How often after foliar feeding can I clean my leaves?

I watched this video, and we loved the idea. We have tried this, and are doing it every two weeks. But we still have quite a few bugs. I am wondering, you mentioned the Mosquito Bits in another video. Can I not put some of these in the worm tea that we make to up the percentage of the good bacteria that can and will kill the bugs?

Dear EG, thank you for your wonderful site.
I used castings tea as a foliar in my VPot where I grow my salad greens. How long I need to way to harvest these greens and eat them.
I can not find this very important information anywhere. Thank you and warm regards. A home gardener from New Zealand.

Curious. Should I replace ALL my garden hoses with drinking hoses to ensure the quilty of water I'm providing my plants? I too use a water filter on my garden hose and wonder if it isn't truly helping because I am not using hoses appropriate for drinking.

can you do a video on how to clean your equipment after you finish spraying? i know you cant just leave it like that and use it again. it must be cleaned well. How do you do that? Thanks and love your videos!

Good video guys. I've been foliar feeding for a few years and I'm a big fan. I add a tiny bit of wetting agent (SLS) to allow the solution to wet better. Like you pointed out it works great for aphid control.

Great video thanks guys. I pass water through my worm bin and collect it in a bucket. Is that basically the same liquid you have? It comes out really dark so must be a good concentrate?

Reason worm tea is good as pest repellent is because worm castings have the enzyme chitinase. Chitinase will compromise/destroy the exo-skeletons of insects.

Love this video. Have watched it multiple times and each time I pick up a little more insight based on my own growing experiences. Thanks!

Is that as the watering for the day or is there still a watering? If watering still needed how far in-between tea spraying do you water?
