Compost Tea – Making
Q: How do I make compost tea?
A: My mother used to soak cow manure in a burlap sack to make manure tea for her flowers. Compost tea is similar but the initial ingredient is less odiferous.
In fact, compost is not the only ingredient. Molasses is added to feed living organisms in an oxygen-rich environment.
