Holy Crap everyone is making this difficult. Please don’t pay for microbes. What do you think EWC’s are? Pure Microbes.
@ReikoX, @misterbee, and the others are all correct. My best microbes come from my old nasty worm bin in my basement. Not from a store.
Go to this page and make yourself a worm bin. This is better than any microbes online, more fun and cheaper.

Go look online for some solid EWC on craigslist or Facebook Marketplace if you need some to get you through. Or even on Etsy I’ve seen some good EWC for sale.
TEA:
Tea is for larger operations where you do not have enough EWC for each individual plant. This is microbe tea I am speaking on.
I grow 1000’s of cut flowers every year. It’s my job. I spray EWC tea on these because it would take a truck load of EWC’s and that would cost way too much to top dress every plant with EWC. SOOO… I brew a EW casting tea with the recipe from Tim Wilson (see link). This man is the Yoda of compost tea.

Tea makes it possible to spread a few gallons of EWC microbes over multiple acres of produce or flowers. For our smaller indoor operations it’s better to put EWC right on top.
