Like Mitchel we are strictly organic.
The "Forrest Floor" is key.
Once a year..but it takes several months to complete.
5 tons of leaves
5 tons of tree mulch
7-8 tons of horse manure
Plus newspapers, cardboard and misc. other items....
'Praying Hands' and jumbo leaves
Not attesting one way or the other on the Tea (no real experience to have a basis)...if it did work we would need a swimming pool full....
