BISON COMPOST

Brewing Teas to Top Dressing

Bison Brew is the best compost for brewing tea, mixing in media, and growing mushrooms: made 100% by American Bison and aged for at least 2 years to the point of fungal dominance. Bison are the largest bovine with the most diverse microbial communities, far superior to cows. Naturally high in carbon and contains numerous minerals including Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, and Zinc. Everyone loves brewing compost teas because it is fun and they work so well to boost overall plant health.

Bison compost is know to have 30% more IMO(indigenous microorganisms) than for example cow compost. This 30% increase equates to the effectiveness going up 500-600% because diversity and redundancy are more important and harder to achieve in natural systems than any other factor.

Good water-holding capacity: The organic nature of Bison manure enables it to retain moisture, ensuring that the substrate remains adequately hydrated throughout the cultivation process. Maintaining consistent moisture levels is crucial for all growth.

Certain mushroom varieties grow with bovine manure. Bison Brew is an excellent addition to mushroom growing substrates acting as the coevolved food source. The amount requited varies depending on the particular type.

We have numerous testimonials of 2-6" of growth in one 24 hour period after applying the compost tea. This is due to the fact that the compost tea process accelerates the activation of all the living organisms in the compost and gets them into the most active state to process and distribute nutrients back to your plants. Additionally, the natural humid and fulvic acids and all the macro, micro, and trace minerals become soluble and more bioavailable right upon introduction. Harness the spirit of the buffalo that built the fertility of our American soils, making it the bread basket of the world that it is today.

How to Brew:

It is recommended to make a 24 hour aerated compost tea for plants in the vegetative phase, and make a 48 hour aerated compost tea for plants in the boom phase. Use immediately after the recommended interval, at this point dilute at a rate of 1:1 all the way up to 1:50 (For example: a 5 gallon brew is added to another 5 gallons of water all the way up to 250 gallons of water and immediately drenched or sprayed on the plants). You use it immediately because the living organisms that have been awoken are at a peak level and need to be unleashed into their new environment so they can thrive and set up the ideal environment for nutrient exchange with your plants/soil. Any extra- put it out on your favorite plants outside, any tree or even grass will benefit immensely.

Brew instructions (scale this to however many gallons you are brewing):

5 gallons water

1-2 cups Bison Brew

2 TBS unsulfured Molasses

Optional boost: 2 TBS Grease Gold(or any color Label), 2-4 TBS Blue Grease, 2-4 TBS Alfa Grease, 2-3 cups aged wood chips (preferably deciduous softwood or hardwood)

The duration of an AACT (Aerated Compost Tea) is influenced by various environmental factors, including temperature, humidity, and pressure. These factors play a crucial role in determining the ideal conditions for microbial activity and nutrient availability within the tea. Warmer temperatures typically accelerate the growth and reproduction of beneficial microorganisms, leading to a shorter brew time. Similarly, higher humidity levels promote microbial activity and nutrient extraction, further impacting the duration of the brewing process. Additionally, the pressure applied during aeration affects the rate at which microbes multiply and the extraction of nutrients from the compost. As a result of these environmental influences, the AACT can reach its peak harvest time somewhere between 12 to 48 hours, during which it is rich in beneficial microorganisms and nutrients, ready to be applied to the soil to promote healthy plant growth.

The presence of bubbles and foam on the surface of an AACT (Aerated Compost Tea) is often seen as an indicator of peak microbial growth. The formation of bubb
