Is compost tea a liquid?

I was once a new guy myself, and have designed the thread specifically to help other people, however, I also ask questions and the forum never fails me. Thanks for the feedback, and I have my fingers crossed for rain tomorrow.
Eastern Wahoo. Strawberry Bush and Eastern Wahoo are closely related, and both are deer candy, primarily growing where deer can't get to them. Wahoo is thicket forming and requires an exclusion cage until the small tree grows above browse level. Wahoo is so heavily browsed that the existence of Wahoo indicates a low deer population.
The MDC had Eastern Wahoo a few years ago and I ordered 100s but only got 10. I was told that there was a big demand, and they wanted to be sure that everyone got a few. Wahoo can be propagated from seed or softwood cuttings. Since Wahoo isn't commercially available, it would be a great plant to grow in Rootmakers, and seed is commercially available.
This is Eastern Wahoo's range.

The original plan was to create cover around three fields of NWSG lined with apple trees. The current plan is to reforest the NWSG leaving small clearings. Southwest Missouri has plenty of food... the lowest hole in the bucket is cover.

Ive been wanting to try eastern wahoo here, its more cold hardy than strawberry bush as far as I can tell. Not exactly easy to come by though.

I didnt see that, that sucks!
Fall planting. This is DCO and AC from Superior Trees in FL. Because of the long Florida growing season Superior Trees really are superior. I was assured that the trees were dormant, even though they arrived with green leaves, and I can report 100% survival.
Dwarf Chinkapin Oak (DCO)
Allegheny Chinkapin (AC)
The 5 gallon bucket shows the size of Superior Tree AC. These Fall planted AC produced Chinkapins the following Fall!

Yes it is. You get a tub (I use about 8 gallons of water) and mix some different products in a paint strainer. You use an aquarium aerator you can find in the pet section of Walmart type of store. You put the air to it for about two days. It increases the bacteria and microbes. I dilute it one part compost tea to 4 parts water.
I don't have the receipe handy - I will try to post it on here. Each hour the microbe count goes down. I put my compost tea in one gallon milk jugs and mix it with water in five gallon buckets. I did two good cycles in late May and early June. Then I didn't go back to it.
You can get on YouTube and see all kinds of useful information about it. Wear gloves - you don't want that stuff in open sores on a working pair of hands.
The Widllife Group also sells AC and DCO plus Sequin for Fall planting. If you want hard mast fast, DCO and AC can't be beat. Sequin would have produced fast, if not for drought. Check this out, Sequin Seedlings from Wild Life Group are unpacked.
Holy Smokes, the seedlings already has burs!!!

Prunus Brushpilious plums. I have a few more of these trees growing further down the river.
per a friend
Plum looks like a cultivar named "Potawatomi". http://healthybiosphere.blogspot.com/2013/10/utah-potawatomi-heirloom-plum-history.html

Thanks Shedder, but I don't think it's Potawatomi, because the plum has a long stem like a cherry.
