Jack of All Trades - Compost Tea
From everything from fighting fungal disease and blight to adding nutrients to the soil compost tea is one easiest ways to naturally fortify your garden. To use as a preventative measure:
Ingredients and Supplies:
Large Bucket
Quality Compost (the compost process should be completely finished)
Fine-Screen Strainer
Pump or Backpack Type Sprayer
Fill the bucket with equal amounts of water and compost. Allow the mixture to sit for a week stirring every day to allow the compost to steep. Allow the larger material to settle to the bottom before straining the tea into the sprayer. Care should be taken in the last step to not let any large particles through that might clog the sprayer. Spray young plants once a week or as need to treat blight and fungus.
