When I first heard about compost tea, I thought it sounded a little gross. When I first made it myself, it was gross! I just threw manure in a five gallon bucket with water and waited a few days. It was rank and slimy. But I did use it to side-dress some of my outdoor plants and I guess it worked for that.

There is a better way.

Many folks take it to a new, higher level, as does The Dirt Doctor below.

One thing I learned from the Doctor is that putting a pump in is beneficial. Another thing is that you can change the biological activity or microbes by adding other items, such as molasses or a protein product like fish emulsion or oil. He goes into detail about how each additive can be more affective for different kinds of plants or vegetation. And finally, you can use it to spray on a plant's foliage for feeding in that way.

Enjoy this video...and make some tea!
