My family gives me grief about keeping so many glass jars around, but it’s projects like this one that make me glad I have them (The jars AND my family). These were drawn off the top of both buckets roughly 24 hours after aeration. Batch A, in which the fresh indigo leaves were too compressed under water and the ambient temperature was too low, is on the right. Batch B — same leaves! — which was not compressed and was dumped in a bucket on day one of a little heat wave, broke down nicely. However, Batch B is not separating as I’d hoped. The pH in both batches is around 11-12 and I test them frequently. Pic #2 shows an early draw from Batch B. There is definitely some indigo sediment at the bottom of the jar today (photo is from 2 days ago). This is fun. I’m asking so many questions as I go, wondering what works in this bizarrely alchemical process of making indigo dye. #naturaldye #indigo #alchemy #makemistakes #organicgardening #urbanfarming #bayareaweather
