I was looking into composting and worm farms the other day and came across something I'd never heard of before. I had to stop and take a second look. I could not figure out what would possess someone to think it was a good idea, let alone to try it. Thankfully I was right about me being completely wrong.

Compost tea is for plants. I know I am blaming it on lack of sleep. But enough of that, back to what it is.

The tea is made from the actual castings of the worms. Once the tea is brewed it is sprayed onto the plants and absorbed through the roots. It provides all the nutrients of compost with the benefit of being in a liquid.

This brew can be used on all kinds of plants. Be sure to follow any instructions that come with the bags concerning when and where to spray.
