With organic gardening it is all starts with the soil. A good healthy organic soil is full of life. There are millions ofmicrobes in as little of an area as a teaspoon of soil. These microbes are what work the soil and turn the organic matter into nutrient rich soil for the plants to feed from. When pesticides and chemical fertilizers are used they kill off With organic gardening it is all starts with the soil. A good healthy organic soil is full of life. There are millions of these microbes and the soil looses it's ability to produce it's own nutrients. To replenish the soil you need to add organic matter back into the soil to get the life cycle going again.
Aerobic compost tea is an extract that is produced from rich mature compost that is full of microbes and nutrients. The use of aerobic compost tea as a soil drench will enhance the microbes in the soil and improve the health and structure of the soil. Aerobic compost tea can be blended to a specific design for the specific use you need. Not all plants or soil conditions require the same treatment.
With the use of traditional compost you are adding organic matter to the soil. It is the microbes in the soil and compost that turn the organic matter into nutrients. The aeration process when applied to the compost tea multiplies the microherd population. These microherds then breakdown the toxins, poisons and pathogens and turn then into good nutrients for the plants to feed from. With the use of aerobic compost tea you still need to add organic matter to the soil.
Making aerobic compost tea is a simple process. All you need to get started is a five gallon pail and a small aquarium air pump.
