Here’s my thought about compost tea….
When we first started our garden 4 years ago, … I was an eager beaver ( still am.. ha!)… reading up about compost tea, worm tea preparations etc .. We now have a 5 litre bucket of stinging nettle tea and comfrey tea sitting in my shed for 2 years.
I realised that it takes up way too much time to conscientiously mix and dilute the tea to water the plants. It is just way too much work.
The point is … I do believe many of us are already practising adding compost and well rotted animal manure to our beds or plants and then letting nature (e.g. rain) and whatever necessary initial watering to feed the soil and plants. Personally… adding compost tea is just redundant. Just add all the necessary composting materials and manure to the compost heap and eureka!
PS: I had given some comfrey and nettle tea to a neighbour and the poor lady killed her roses coz I believe she didn’t dilute the tea enough. That is another huge risk!
