Apologies for hijacking an old thread but it did seem relevant.

Does anyone have any experience of creating, applying and seeing the results of these teas? I’m interested and prepared to give it a go. I found a potentially useful pdf from someone in the US explaining most eloquently about building your own brewer for @ £30

Having read ‘Teaming with Microbes’ I wondered what counts as ‘high quality compost’ for use in the brewing process – well rotted manure, worm castings – would these be appropriate?

This seems to be quite big business in the US tho most growers I have talked to over here know very little about it. Another useful addition to the soil improvement tool box perhaps? Many thanks for any thoughts on this, Tris
