- If you are a gardener, you have probably heard of something called compost-tea. What you most certainly do know is that your crop, your harvest, will only be as healthy as the soil in which it is grown. Without attention to the soil, your produce will lack vitality and even nutrients.
This is where compost comes into play. Adding organic matter back into your soil aids in the regeneration of healthy nutrients which in turn, helps your crops thrive. An even better alternative to regular compost is compost-tea. This liquid-fertilizer infusion not only feeds plant but also keeps plant disease at bay.
If you have been using regular-compost in your garden, it is time to take it to the next-level. Compost-tea is superior to regular compost in that it does everything that regular compost does with the addition of oxygen. Compost-tea, like probiotics, boosts the ratio of good to bad microbes. These well-oxygenated microbes add oxygen into the soil which means the healthy microbes become super microbes!
Here are just some of the great things that will happen when you use compost-tea in your garden:
• Stronger plant growth - Your veggies will be hardier and tastier, your flower-blossoms will be bigger and leaves will be greener.
• Stronger root systems - With the addition of compost-tea, roots will grow robustly and begin to pull nutrients from deeper down.
• Stronger immune-system - Plants, like humans, have an immune-system of sorts. Using compost tea strengthens the immune-system of plants giving it the ability to keep disease at bay.
• Accessible nutrients - The nutrients in compost-tea are readily available and easily absorbed.
• All natural fertilizer - You can achieve a beautiful and healthy garden with the addition of compost-tea that will not harm insects, wildlife or native-plants.
HOW TO MAKE COMPOST TEA
INGREDIENTS:
• 10-gallon bucket
• Aquarium-pump
• High-quality compost
• Sachet or brew-bag to put the compost into
• Water
• Compost-catalyst (a commercial mixture that encourages the micro-organisms in the compost to multiply). You can also use a cup of molasses.
Fill your bucket almost to the top with water - if it is tap water allow it to set for a day so that the chlorine can be released. If you skip this step, the chlorine will kill all of the beneficial micro-organisms.
• Place your pump into the water
• Add the catalyst to the compost.
• Put your compost into a sachet or mesh bag and put this into the water.
• Turn the pump on and let it do its work. It will pump oxygen throughout the water. This will encourage the beneficial-bacteria to start working.
• Allow the pump to work for a full 24-hours. The end result is a frothy elixir full of nutrients, bacteria, nematodes, and protozoans that will feed and protect your plants.
• Remove the sachet with the compost and spread the solid compost in your garden
• It is best to use the compost-tea as soon as you can after brewing. If you let the tea set for more than one day the organisms will use up the beneficial-oxygen.

Thank you
1:52 How to make starts.
Other than chlorine, you have to make sure the water you are using doesn't contain any chloramine as that will also kill off beneficial bacteria. Using powdered vitamin c will neutralize both chlorine and chloramine in approximately 10 min. versus 24 hours plus through aeration. Vitamin c is also a beneficial nutrient for plants. Just my 2 cents.
I considered the water quality and so I want to harvest rain water
Simple rv filter or garden filter will remove chlorine and fluoride. $17.99 on amazon lasts 3-6 mos attaches to any hose
@@ryleesblooms I started using a RV filter a couple of months ago, also. Works well.
Where do you get a powdered vitamin c?
@@jamclibusmar I got mine from my local Vitamin Shoppe. You can also find it on Amazon or your grocery store.
You can also use an old sock instead of buying a sachet.
thanks for the advice
dang just ordered some
wow you make it so so well, so complicated

I make compost tea with worm castings, alfalfa, kelp. Use unsulfured molasses . After a day or 2 it should smell sweet. Then you know its ready
Reciepe please
@@theoverthinker5144 half cup worm casting quarter alfalfa, quarter kelp, table spoon or 2 of unslufred molases.
Great explanation!
Hi,
I stuffed a small water bottle with kitchen scrapes nd made holes so the juices can drip in to my leaf vegetables container
Is this method good? Or am i going to destroy them? Help me here!
This works. I have a bucket where i do kitchen scraps from my veggie and fruit scraps. They drip juices and I use the tea for my flowers and garden.
Thank you 😊
Swapm is also good liquid fertilizer
I get white foam on soil after putting tea directly on plants is it a good thing?
Thank you.
How much of the worm castings did you add to the bucket?
Can you make this out of rabbit poop and chicken poop combined as well? Like I know it don't have like their pee or nothing, but like I figured if I like messed up those poop in like a bag and like run it through water and like filtered it I could use it for hydroponics. Just filter it for the major solids that way you know going to work in a hydroponic system. I don't yet have a worm farm...
rabbit manure is a cold type manure... meaning its not hot because its self contained in its pellet. This means you can add rabbit manure to garden stuff earlier than you can with other types of manure to gardens. But be aware; hot type manures cannot be added immediately to a garden, only cold type manures.
@@noahriding5780 great to have this info. Can you please name some more that are cold manure?
@@amyhoang9140Google is free
Nice,,vidio 👍
Yes compost tea works but a little bit low on detail description. At the moment I'm using diluted chicken manure water with 5 ml Epsom salt and 5ml molasses /20liter water. One thing I do leave the pump on until I used all the tea after a few days there is no point turning the pump off. The temperature apparently is vital. I was told that 29 degrees Celsius gives the best types of bacteria.
Don’t use salt on your plants hun
@@jadaangelina6897 Epsom Salt is pure magnesium. Helps with nutrient defficiancys by helping the plant absorb them (like CALMAG). Its main use is for agriculture.
How do you make it not what is a good for, half the video?
Ever use aquarium water for tea?
Always use aquarium water!
When I moved into my apartment I had no clue how to garden and I'm still learning. I couldn't figure out y the hell someone dumped fishtank pebbles into the dirt. Nothing was growing till I came and took up gardening. As I was amending my soil I saw the pebbles from a fish tank, so it just occured ppl must've dumped an aquarium in, accept they dumped the entire tank. Well I guess at least I know what the heck they were doing lol .
Short sweet and to the point.
How much do you add to your garden
good idea

How many times can one person say compost?
Compost I watched the video compost again after compost reading this comment compost and it was so worth it. compost.
hi are you interested in LED plant light？
what kind u got?
Compost tea provides nitrogen, not oxygen.
Depends which kind of tea, also yes they’re right the teas recruit microbes that promote oxygen intake
The wording is very odd in this video. It's like a robot.
Too hard !
I use Snek guano
