The Recipe for Compost Tea is simple:

• Water (5 gallon bucket)
• Active Compost (fill a tube sock and tie it closed)
• A Food Source (about a table spoon)

Put all the items in your 5-gallon bucket. Let your tea brew for about 24 hours. If you let it sit longer you may need to add an air pump to keep oxygen in

The most important part of organic gardening is to nourish the soil. Your plants will take their nourishment from the soil, and will only be as healthy as the soil is. The healthier your plants, the fewer of them will fall victim to garden pests. The soil, therefore, is the most important part of organic farming or gardening. Feed the soil, and the soil will feed the plants. Fee the soil compost tea, and you will have healthy, productive plants.

Compost tea for organic farming or gardening is easily made. You won’t need a teapot or hot, boiling water, but you will need the best compost you can purchase or make.
