Our compost tea brewers are up and running. Soon we will begin spraying compost tea on our clients’ landscapes as part of our natural tree and shrub care service. Our clients tell us that they have seen healthier plants, more flowers and less disease.
We have been using and brewing compost tea for well over a decade. Our state-of-the-art brewers aerate the tea and dramatically increase the number of beneficial microbes.
Compost tea adds these active beneficial microbes to soil. The microbes help plants take in nutrients and store food, improving plant growth and vigor.
Healthy plants are better able to resist diseases. Compost tea microbes can suppress diseases by increasing resistance to pathogens, antagonizing and competing with pathogens on leaf surfaces, and inhibiting pathogen spores.
We apply compost tea in spring and fall. If you would like to see the benefits of this product in your landscape, contact us for an appointment.
See more about how we brew and use compost tea in this video.
Great video on compost tea, very informative. Thanks for blogging about it.
Wonderful video singing the praises of compost tea. What is the system that you use to make it in such large volume?
Thanks, we are really happy you like the video.
We have large commercial aeration tanks. Here is a photo of the tanks from an earlier blog post about compost tea:

As the video says, we steep compost in large buckets first, as you would steep tea. Then we add it to the tanks along with lots of water. The aeration system dramatically increases the number of microorganisms.
