    Compost Tea?!?

    I have been looking around the eHow website about found an article on 'Compost Tea'.

    Basically, fill have a bucket with compost, then fill to top with water.Pour the wet compost through cheesecloth and spray onto plants.

    Has anyone else heard of this before? Sounds weird to me. Why not put the compost round a plant and water in.

    I guess the only reason to do it rather than putting the compost round is to use it as a feed only if you dont want to raise your bed at all.

      Hellooo

      I think Compost tea is used as a treatment??? And so i guess spraying would allow you to 'treat' an affected area rather than the whole plant (as apposed to treating the soil like compst does) - perhaps?

        Comfrey tea is used a lot in biodynamic gardening, and is supposed to be the answer to everything. In herbal medicine, comfrey is used as a tonic and stimulates healing and regeneration, so that may just be the answer...
