I have Dills Atlantic vines. There generic but there doing great without too much fertilizing. I really haent done anything up till now and I planted them 2 months ago. I just started seeing alot of growth lately, about 3-4 inches. Maybe Im wrong but now im seeing growth and that the vine is producing(well i see alot of male buds) I made a light compost tea. I mixed 4 parts western compost, 1 part steer manure with about 3 gallons water. I have let it brew for 2 days. Today im going to strain then feed. I might have waited to long but I found that when I feed too early it seems to stunt the growth a little because the roots arnt as strong yet for the tea. What does your brew consist of?
