Making Compost Tea

 
My You Tube Video on how I made Compost Tea for the very first time!

Equipment Used to make Compost Tea



holes drilled into side of bucket to put the airline tubes through

Knee high stocking used to hold the compost.  1" bubblers placed inside of stocking.  Add 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of Molasses to water so the bacteria has something to eat.
5 inch bubblers attached to air tubing using a valve connector

Aerating compost making beneficial bacteria.  Compost Tea done after 24 hours of running air pump and bubblers.  Tea must be used immediately on plants.  Compost Tea when finished smells earthy and sweet.  It should not smell bad, if it does, it was not made correctly and should not be put on plants.

Keep air pump up and away from bucket and the lid on the bucket to keep animals and pets out!
