Additional Notes
Don't seal containers until product is harvested, we are looking for the culture to "breathe".
1/3c of spirulina is an extremely high amount, success has been observed with as little as 2 Tbs.
Milk can be increased based on amount available, we are looking for enough milk when it separates to create a cap over the culture. This creates the environment for the Bacteria to do their magic.
If storing for a prolong time, ensure the mixture harvested remains out of high temps, out of direct sunlight and sealed.
Dilution rate 1:500 - 1:1000
Apply to soil, plants, compost.
