COMPOST TEA
Aerated Compost Tea is made from Vermicompost and water which goes through a gentle aerating process. Worm Tea will increase species diversity of leaf, stem, flower, seed-surface and soil microorganisms. These microorganisms will select, eat and destroy the disease-causing pests and organisms in the soil and on the plant.
Benefits of using Worm Tea for foliar or root applications:
- Boosts plant’s immune system suppresses foliar diseases and interferes with pathogens trying to infect the plant tissue.
- Food resources in the tea allow the beneficial microorganisms to grow and protect the plant.
- Soil structure is improved. Water retention and oxygen reach the root system and increase root depth.
- Nutritional quality of the plant is enhanced.
Worm Tea is applied as a foliar spray with a large or small sprayer, remember to saturate all plant surfaces. Do not apply in direct sun. Soil Amendment application should be applied to wet soil; use ¼ cups or more depending on plant size and needs.
