Compost Tea Starter/Enhancer

Compost Tea is a liquid solution or suspension made by steeping compost in water.  There are five major types of teas...anaerobic, aerobic, compost leachate, manure tea and bokashi.   Each type is made differently, but they are all brewed to be introduced to soils in order to create/increase soil biology.

  Brewing tea is not difficult, but to get consistent results and to provide a truly balanced end product, a "Compost Starter/Enhancer" should be used.

A Starter/Enhancer, when used at the very beginning of the brewing process, will hasten the formation of biological activity by providing a number of species of both bacillus and fungi.  The Starter/Enhancer will provide the food necessary to keep the biology alive and active until it can colonize.

An additional larger dose of Starter/Enhancer during brewing will reinforce the biology that has already started.   Plus, it will add most of the trace elements in chelated forms that plants need for healthy growth.  These trace elements interact with the biology as part of the ongoing life cycle in soils.
