Nice discussion and recommendations here, thanks Karen for your comment and Hawfinch for your observations on compost teas.
Some swear by them, mostly larger growers or golf course specialists who have a lot of area to maintain and can justify the cost of kit and the time needed to brew up.
I have almost bought a brewer, several times, but always feel I am unlikely to have the necessary time and that my results are good enough already.
So thanks for the book idea Tris but not this year anyway! I think they make sense if you had five acres of average soil, even one acre perhaps, and wanted a cheap way to improve growth?
If anyone has experience otherwise, it will be good to hear.
