Seeking information on compost tea/liquid fertiliser recipies
Hoping to find some resources for concoctions to brew for my garden. Nettle water is the classic, but there’s a lot of other options.
Does anyone know of a good resource listing what plants to brew for what nutrients? Or am i overthinking it and should just throw them together?
Generally calling out for pdfs and spreadsheets with dense information regarding what plants want and/or contain which nutrients.
Unfortunately they're videos, not PDFs, but this might be useful:

I'm not affiliated with this channel in any way, I just like their presentation style.
Thank you! By what I saw before I got served an ad I will enjoy this content (on my pc with adblock) I just suck at remembering and confidently executing all the various dos and donts from videos I’ve seen over the ye. Which is why I’m holding out hope someone compiled the mega spreadsheet of goodness. Maybe there’s a wiki out there waiting to be found.. too bad searching is impossible.
I've whipped up a basic, text-only tutorial from the transcripts of each video, if that's helpful to the community:

Bonus! Here's a basic Dos & Don'ts from these four videos! 🖖🏼🤓

Edit to add; i think i found something very akin to what I’m looking for. Dynamic accumulators is the new word of the week!

I found some further information in pdf form. Still hoping to find some dense spreadsheet that can come along easier than a booklet tho.
Not vetted or even fully read the links yet just posting if others are curious. https://www.sare.org/wp-content/uploads/Compost-Tea-Manual.pdf
