To make compost tea: take an old pair of nylons and put several scoops of compost into it and tie it off. Get a 1 or a 5 gallon bucket filled with water. Dunk the nylon into the water and let it "steep" for a couple of days. Everytime you pass by the bucket, give it a stir - the more stirring the better. By stirring you will aerate the water which activates the microbes. After steeping the tea for a couple of days either pour the water into a watering can or hook it up to a hozon syphon and spray it on top of your plants. Compost tea is a foliar feed. Hi Val,

I have one question. Could you please tell me again about the compost tea. Thank you! I enjoyed your seminar at the Antique Rose Emporium on Sunday. I have one question.
