Hi Karen and Stringfellow,
The compost tea confusion arises because of using that phrase for two different things.
What I refer to as true compost tea is made aerobic ally (with oxygenating pump, molasses feed and only a little compost) and I think it’s worthwhile, but doubt it’s viability for gardeners.
The older type of compost tea is anaerobic and I agree Karen, of limited value except perhaps for pot plants.
Maria Thun on watering, that is a sound principle but …. Shallower rooting and fast growing plants such as salads, spinach and celery will thrive more when encouraged with occasional and through watering.
