This opaque customized Rev tea bubbler is light shielded to protect the contents
Ultraviolet light (UV) really hurts the microlife in your teas, so always keep that in mind; just like roots
and earthworms, they detest light, and in the case of the microbes, it kills many of them. Sunlight is the
worst, and direct sunlight will really make your tea weak in life compared to even shaded sunlight. HID
grow lights are pretty bad too, especially the “Blue” types that I like to use. Ambient temperatures when
making teas should also be around those that are comfortable to people; 70-80°F. is perfect I think. You

silver all-latex-based paint. I then used that little red plastic plate as the lid. Always set your tea bubblers
on some type of plate or tray to catch spillover liquids from the teas foaming over the top, as this almost
always happens.
This is a super special custom TLO mixture
That mixture of kelp meal and feather meal is a special TLO custom mix just for teas. When you read
theaddition ofkelpmeal toanytea recipe inthis topic,youcansafely assume itisactually thismixture: ¾
cup kelp meal to 1 tablespoon of feather meal.
Also I would like to point out here that if you have your own earthworm farm, your leachate worm tea
is a fantastic inoculant for the AACT TLO teas you are bubbling. The leachate contains vast populations
of a wide variety of microbial life. If you feed your worms like I do, your leachate tea will be über-high in
PPM with dissolved minerals, so just a teaspoon of leachate in a whole gallon of bubbling tea is enough to
inoculate it with booming life waiting to happen!
