Compost Joe's

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.
