Hello,
Here is an update on what I am doing so far. The compost tea has been made, I have added organic material such as leaves, debris, Etc. I also took some animal bones that I found while hunting, and smash them and ground them tiny pieces, and added them to the compost tea. I did the same with oyster shells. After that, I added some water soluble plant food. I forgot to mention that I have one gallon of water, and 1/4 teaspoon of this water soluble plant food. After adding all this, I added small pieces of charcoal. When I say charcoal, I do not mean charcoal briquettes. I mean wood that has been burned, turned into charcoal, but has not turned white or fallen apart. I then mixed it all together.
What I think is going to happen is that everything in there, especially the charcoal, will absorb the nutrients of the compost tea. This way, whenever the soil is watered, the charcoal will let out a little bit of the fertilizer, fertilizing the plant every time it is watered, not much fertilizer, but enough to feed the plant for a couple days.
My hypothesis is that the plant with this soil, which is a potato plant, will grow faster and or bigger than regular potting soil potato plants.
Now, I got to locate some seed potatoes, and in two to four weeks, I will strain the solids out of the compost tea, then I'm going to mix it all together with regular potting soil and plant a seed potato.
I will give the next update when it is time.
Until then, Happy Gardening!
Jared
Forgot to mention, here is a picture of it so far.
