  Hi Rachel

  I actually create soil inoculants for different plants from trees to vegetables. 

  If your tree which you did not mention the type Deciduous or Coneferous.

  The first would be moderatley fungal and the second Conefers enjoy highly fungal.

  What makes a compost tea more bacterial is when we start adding things like molasses. Bacteria loves simple sugars.

  So we strive for a balanced compost tea recipe rather than one or the other as another factor would be your soil.

  To Answer your first question I create the teas myself with continous brewer cycle. If it only takes 2 to 3 days to reach you then you would uncap the container right away.

  Let sit in cool dry place and start using it. It will reactivate once it interacts with your soil. For best results keep cap off if you can or very loosely.

  It will not keep past a month !. Compost teas are ment to be used right away.

  The price is $12.00 dollars for 1 gal. That you can break down as I mentioned previously.

  Plus shipping as a thought if I send you a 32 oz bottle it will fit in a flat rate box and you would use it much quicker. That price is 9.00 dollars plus shipping. Please vist my site for more information www.puregrowsoil.com

  Thank you BTW im not really sure I should be selling anything here. I just recently signed up.
