Collection: Compost Tea

First, what is compost tea, and why is everyone raving about it?

Compost tea is the controlled extraction of microorganisms and nutrients from a small amount of high-quality compost (and additional nutrient sources) into water.

The water is aerated to vastly increase the extraction of microbes and to provide an environment that will breed many more microbes, favoring mostly those that thrive in an aerobic environment.

The tea is then sprayed on the soil and plants in order to inoculate the landscape with these beneficial aerobic microorganisms. It’s not a fertilizer but provides many of the same benefits and more.

Compost tea is especially important when there isn’t enough good quality compost around for your lawn and organic garden. Also, compost cannot be applied to plant leaves, but compost tea can. The benefits are immense.
