Composting
Making Compost Tea
While there is still some discussion about the benefits of compost tea, there are reports of positive results, especially when integrated into an overall organic gardening plan. Used in conjunction with adding organic compost directly to your soil, spraying compost tea onto plants can reduce foliar diseases such as mold and mildew in addition to adding nutrients and microbes which enhance the soil health.
