Last Sunday a large group from an Organic Growers organisation visited my
farm to hear my talk and see a demo. about compost tea. I was a bit
surprised that none of them had heard about CT but many made teas from
certain weeds and herbs. It was explained to me that these were put into a
large drum of water, stirred a few times a week, and left for several
months to break down. When the mixture developed an acceptable smell, it
was diluted and applied to the foliage and soil.
I was asked - If the mixture was aerated, would the weeds and herbs break
down more rapidly and be available to use in a much shorter time?
Has anyone in this CT group had any experience with teas of this type?
