If you can't find the tea, you can make it yourself if you have access to a garden store that stocks worm castings. Steep it in water with a bit of molasses then strain the tea.

I would note that Camille's quote specifies dry milk. Like powdered milk? I wonder why that makes a difference vs. fresh milk?

No no no. Bad natasha!

I like using unique pieces of wood for projects like that. If I'm not mistaken, it looks like grape wood. Nicely done. I hope the plant thrives there. Just don't forget to monitor it's watering...
