Compost Tea recipe and use

Compost tea delivers beneficial bacteria, microbes and nutrients to your plants and soil. The recipe I used for this batch of compost tea is: 4 gallons of water, 4oz of fish and seaweed fertilizer, 2Tbsp unsulphured molasses, and 4 cups of organic worm castings. I suspended the worm castings in cheese cloth and allowed the entire mixture to bubble (with a fish tank aerator) for at least 24hrs. There are many recipes online for compost tea with most of them being pretty similar. I would encourage folks to research compost tea, the various recipes and how to properly prepare and use compost tea. Aeration in compost tea mixtures such as this one is very important to discourage the growth of anaerobic bacteria, and encourage the growth of beneficial (aerobic) bacteria. The more bubbles the better! Compost tea is great for your plants and vegetables and a great boost for your organic food.
