Compost Tea

Compost tea is great for keeping your plants fed and healthy throughout their life. It’s not like strong chemical fertilizers that can burn your plants if applied heavily. Additionally, if the brewing process is done correctly, compost tea is not toxic like chemical fertilizers either. What could make it toxic is the introduction of compost that has not properly cooked. According to Bradley, F.M., Ellis, B.W. & Phillips, E. (2009), “E. coli can be present in the raw ingredients of a compost pile.” (p. 162). When gathering the compost for the tea, one must ensure that the compost is suitably finished. The best way to determine if the compost is suitable for use is if it has a sweet earthy aroma.
