BALANCED COMPOST TEA

LEARN - SHARE - GROW

Base Recipe​

1.5 pounds of balanced compost


(equal parts bacterial to fungal biomass)


1.6 ounces of humic acids


1 ounce of liquid kelp*


1 ounce of soluble unsulphured black-strap molasses

*We've specified liquid kelp here, however, sometimes we like to add a tablespoon of kelp meal as well to provide surfaces for the

fungi to attach too.

The black-strap molasses is great, because it naturally contains a number of beneficial minerals (e.g. potassium) that feed your microbes and soil.

These elements can be put into a fabric type bag and allowed to strain like a tea bag,

However I am finding that just tossing in all the ingredients and letting it do it's thing works great!!

Use the leftover Elements from your tea bag or in the bottom of your brewer when finished to top dress your plants.

BREW FOR 24 to 48 HOURS FOR FULL MICROBIAL ACTION!!! DILUTION RATE 50/50 WITH WATER!!!
