Well I took the plunge here with the AVCT. Bought some airstones and a couple tees and put two 80s era aquarium pumps to work in a 5 gallon bucket. The water is from a nearby spring. I could not find a paint strainer bag so I used an old loose weave pantyhose leg filled with:
about 8 cups of vc,
1 tbsp epsom salt
1/2 cup worm chow (corn/wheat/alfafa meal from what I can tell)
2 tbsp molasses
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

It is now bubbling away. Took about 5 seconds for the water to turn brown.
If all fails miserably I'm out the price of airstones and tees. I will hand spray it with a spray bottle.

Next time I am out fishing I will keep the weeds taken off of the trolling motor prop. Some type of millfoil usually. That might be close enough to kelp, nutrient wise. I'd like to try to make some fish emulsion too, but that has me worried scentwise.
