WHY USE COMPOST TEA?
Compost Tea is a microbial solution that improves soil structure, adds beneficial organisms to the soil to sustain plants, builds organic matter in the soil, and aids in nutrient uptake. A mature, finished compost contains millions of beneficial organisms. That is why gardeners spread compost on their crops. This is beneficial to the soil, but very labor intensive. Compost Tea, on the other hand, contains BILLIONS of beneficial organisms, doing in one application what spreading compost onto crops does in multiple applications. Our tea also contains grub-eating nematodes! THIS IS A LIVING SOLUTION WE RECOMMEND APPLYING IT WITHIN 24 hrs of purchase for best results.
