Tara, It is a good video, I put in orchid greenhouse into YouTube and it was one of the first videos. Its creative and did give me a few ideas.
Ursala, That's fine on combining the 2 threads. It is suppose to be alpaca and not alfalfa. I just make like a tea or coffee and dilute it down. Questions about fertilizing is something that people new to this will have and if we don't ask we wont know. There can be more then one way to do something and if we don't try or ask who knows if it would work. I will check out the file today, probably after my dr appointment here in a little bit.
@dyzzypyxxy, With what I do, its easy cause it all floats. One you let it sit (I let it sit for a week at least), I just take another container the same size, but a small strainer in it. I strain it off and with what's caught in the strainer I just put around the plants or in the composter and let it break down. what's left is a dark brew and I use like a concentrated liquid fertilizer. I just was not sure on it cause of being a new world to me on orchids.
Alice, So far the Orchids like or seem to like the location. I have them in the dining room. They are near a North facing sliding glass door that's has blinds on it and can adjust the light level. It is away from the draft of the swamp cooler but it does blow into the connecting kitchen, so it does have a little bit more moisture snd I spritz lightly yesterday with a few dropds of water.
