I've never tried alfalfa tea although I've been an organic gardener for 10 years or so. I've read several recipes for making the tea and if I am reading them right I'm not supposed to dilute it. If I don't dilute it so that it goes further I'll be making tea all month. I have a lot to fertilize. It'll take 2 33 gal cans to make enough for my yard and I don't really have room for 2 cans of tea. We also have some commercial property where our business is and I have enough plants there to use most of a third can.

If I put 3 times the amount of alfalfa in do I get 3 times the amount of foam? And will the tea be 3 times as concentrated?

Thanks much for your answers.
