Compost Tea

Compost tea is extremely beneficial to plant and soil health and effectively substitutes numerous chemical-based fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides. To brew our compost tea did a few simple steps. 1) We cut the top off of a 55-gallon drum 2) We filled a burlap feed sack with worm castings and compost 3) We suspended the burlap sack filled with compost in the 55-gallon drum and filled it with water 4) We let the 'tea bag' steep for a week while stirring it as often as possible (stirring the mixture helps to aerate it, fueling he aerobic bacteria).

When the tea was finally ready we applied it to the plants both through the roots and thorough the leaves for maximum benefits.
