Compost Tea



We have had so much rain, we don’t remember how long the compost has been in our wheel barrel waiting to be used.  The good news: We have a wheel barrow full of compost tea. (We weren't intentionally making it.)


What is compost tea?
It is a liquid fertilizer that is simple to make. 

How To Make Compost Tea:
Ingredients: compost and rainwater and a container to hold it all (wheel barrow)
Wheel Barrow Compost Tea

Put compost in the wheel barrow. 
Let rain collect in the wheel barrow. 
Allow the mixture to marinate.
Collect the water by being eco-friendly and reuse milk and juice jugs.  
Water your plants like normal using the compost tea.

FYI
Searching on the web, you will find many different ways to make compost tea.  Some articles we have read advise to use the compost tea right away or within a few hours.  We have used ours several days later and have not had any adverse reactions.

Take note of your plants health.  
Please send us feedback letting us know how the Compost Tea worked for your plants.
We’d love to hear from you!
