Compost Tea Brewers are a growing trend in savvy gardening. To understand the need for compost tea one needs to first understand that plants have two root systems. One for water, and the other is for nutrients.
The clear thing to ask ones-self is why gardens are taken out with insects and disease, yet the same plants in a forest flourish?
The simple answer it that in the forest plant, and animal material have time to fully break down into colloidal goo (hummus), and heat brewed nutrient rich tea. This has been the case for millions of years.
Plants cant drink up nutrients from compost that hasn’t fully broken down into an absorbent pudding to liquid substance.
Most compost tea brewers use liquids that have formed on the stove top, or in the oven.
Even more people these days are pureeing leftovers from the juicer, top speed up the process of decay into hummus and the tea that is brewed from the heat of the rotting material.
Many gardeners save leftovers and freeze them in the refrigerator. When they have time this vegetation consisting of grape stems; left over choke material from an artichoke dinner; egg shells from fritters, quench, brunch omelets, and baking projects are tossed into a brew pot on the stove top to add in vitamin E.
Many people don’t have the time or energy to oversee pots of tea on the stove, or jars of tea kept from curious raccoons in the sun. Still more people are dissatisfied with the even slower process of waiting months for tea to build up in significant amounts in the bottom of a compost bin that is designed to let the compost tea drip free of the still decaying material.
For this reason many people are turning to compost tea brew kits like those sold by such companies as Bountea.
Other people go and buy it by the pitcher full from plant stores.
Having a home compost tea brew kit is the shortest root to compost tea that has been professionally balanced to offer vital nutrients in the form that is most drinkable by plants.
Still a savvy gardener can look up what is in the food that they personally each, and back burner brew dinner leftovers, stem cut away material and the like to create there own home recipe. But this had been done before and many people choose to just order a brew kit and add reinvention of the wheel to there full schedule.
Like the Soilsoup brewer kits that come with a bucket, some starter and all you need to make your own tea!
Compost Tea Brewers know that nature tries to kill off unhealthy plants. Plants that cant seem to absorb the right nutrients. Anemic plants need too much watering to survive. And still they are attacked successfully by disease and insects.
For example Nasturshum from the wild have noaphid problems. In the garden most people will burn them out do to aphid related issues. In a garden where colloidal hummus and compost tea brew are used, these plants are healthy on rain water alone, and can stay back massive aphid colonies in the surrounding yards. This is a fact in the gardens, floral spaces, forests and fields of American life.
