Compost Tea Application
What is Compost Tea...
Compost Tea is a “brewed” liquid solution that is applied to the soil. It consists of composted organic matter, earth warm castings, sea weed extracts, molasses, and water. The brewing process harnesses beneficial nutrients and microbial bacteria (microbes), which in a liquid form, are easily taken up by the soil.
Why Compost Tea?
Compost tea is loaded with microbes. Microbes are very important because they break down organic matter in the soil. In return, plant roots are able to take up more nutrients from the broken down organic matter, which would not have been as easily available to them, if it wasn’t for the microbes.
Where To Apply Compost Tea
Compost tea greatly improves all plants in your landscape beds, lawns, and vegetable gardens.
How We Make Our Compost Tea
The compost tea is made by combining organic matter and earth worm castings in a mesh bag. This mesh bag is then placed in un chlorinated water and is oxygenated for 24 hours. After the 24 hours, sea weed extracts, kelp, and molasses are added to the mixture. It is then stored in a large container and kept aerated until the application process occurs.
BENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTING OUR COMPOST TEA SOLUTION
Environmentally Safe. What does that mean?
Compost tea is made from 100% organic ingredients. These ingredients will not cause harm to anyone or anything exposed to them. Compost tea is safe for humans and animals. It is so safe that you can walk on your lawn or landscape right after the application. Compost tea applications reduce the amount of Nitrogen in our water tables.
Less Water Needed. What does that mean?
Studies show that compost tea applications improves soil water retention. Plants need less watering throughout the season, especially during a drought.
Soil Health. What does that mean?
Did you know that there are Billions of microorganisms under just one of your foot prints? The microbes in compost tea increase the beneficial microorganisms in the soil. In return, plants are able to absorb more nutrients. When more nutrients are absorbed, plants thrive. They thrive so much, that they become more disease resistant.
Compost tea increases disease resistance in plants.
