Description

This group intended for people new to organic gardening and the use of actively aerated compost tea. There is no such thing as a dumb question. Skeptics are highly encouraged to participate too.

Compost tea is an aerated solution that has taken the beneficial microorganisms from compost and combined it with other nutrients. It is a concentrated liquid created by a process to increase the numbers of beneficial organisms as an organic approach to plant and soil care. The compost tea brewer offers ideal conditions for the microbes and organisms in the compost food to multiply, thereby providing your plants with a highly concentrated organic solution. This solution can then be sprayed on your plants or soil, for a variety of positive and beneficial advantages.

BENEFITS OF COMPOST TEA

* Helps extend root systems

* Increases water and nutrient retention.

* Helps breakdown of toxins in soil and on the plants.

* Enhances the taste of fruits and vegetables.

* Cannot over apply because it is completely natural and organic!

* Reduces use of chemical pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.

* Increases the number of organisms to compete with disease-causing organisms.

* Occupies the space around the infection sites so disease-causing organisms cannot penetrate into the tissues of the plant.
