Re: Compost Tea Yea or Nay?
Compost tea makes no sense to me. It reminds me of the "holistic" section of Whole Foods where you can buy expensive homeopathic remedies for anything! I've watched a lot of youtube videos showing people make their compost tea and it usually involves them adding small amounts of expensive ingredients and bubbling it to get aerobic bacteria to do their magic.
It seems the point of this is to have "beneficial bacteria" grow which somehow help your plants. I would imagine the bacteria growing in the tea die when added to the garden, meaning their only benefit is the chemical processes they do in the tea and the biomass they add to the garden. Seems more logical to provide an optimal environment in your soil for beneficial bacteria to grow and let them do their magic there.
