COMPOST TEA
Compost tea is a liquid extract of compost. Compost
tea has gained acceptance by homeowners and commercial
growers around the world as an alternative to chemicals
that stimulates soil biological activity, improves soil
structure, and enhances overall plant health and vigor.
Reported benefits of using compost tea include enhanced
disease suppression, reduced fungicide and fertilizer
requirements and associated cost savings.
Compost Joe's aerated
compost tea system is designed to consistently provide
optimum conditions for extraction and proliferation
of beneficial aerobic microorganisms present in the
starting compost, as well as extraction of the components
from the compost that are either soluble or able to
be held in suspension. We begin with our vermicompost
product as a base for microbial life.
Compost tea has
many of the same beneficial attributes of compost,
but it is clearly a different product. Unlike compost,
it can be applied directly to plant foliage, providing
nutrition and beneficial microorganisms that colonize
leaf surfaces. This is thought to be instrumental in
the disease suppression capabilities of compost tea.
Compost tea applied directly to the soil is a way to
boost biological activity when application of solid
compost is not practical, or as a supplement between
compost applications.
Compost Joe's supplies
the organics industry with top quality compost tea. By
the gallon or bulk delivery Joe's all natural
product cannot be beat. Contact us
