  Hey all:

  i joined a day or so ago and have been perusing the early posts, especial=
ly to find a recipe for compost tea. so far i've missed it/them if they are=
 there....

  any body care to point me in the right direction?

  my interest in compost tea is brand new.... just read an article about it=
 last week and it has come up on a rose group i belong to. so far though...=
 a simple, effective recipe has not surfaced.

  I was intially just interested in arresting the blackspot on some roses, =
but see that the benefits are much farther reaching....

  and handy little point in the direction of a fairly simple recipe, if the=
re is such a thing, would be appreciated. :)

  Thanks... Littlemoon

  ps: i don't think i am at the brewer or vat stage yet... is there a way t=
o make small batches without all the gear?

    Exactly right, Jeff! You can jump-start the nutrient cycling process b=
y adding protozoa to soil, and Jason probably has quite a herd in his alfal=
fa pellet - molasses mix. Depends on whether the pellets were heated, or j=
ust pressed together.
