I would think it should be fine, some of the ingredients I will use in the tea will probably raise the ph I also read somewhere just now tht as the microbes start accumulating it’ll raise the ph..

I just mix the EWC with some dry food scratch it in and keep moist.
You can do just an EWC tea if its good quality.
