I agree, also good to make teas out of, use to do it all the time when i was in soil and ran organically, and the stuff does turn to mud.You can soak the ewc in water, stir it up. You will get nutes out of it that way. Some put it in cloth to keep it ftom making a bunch of goo. Ewc can bind up like mud by itself, its great mixed in soil.
Also their fattening up, give it a week, yes slower than if things were more ideal but hang in there.
