[FONT=Calibri,Bold][FONT=Calibri,Bold]Note: [/FONT][/FONT]These guidelines are just suggestions, not rules. Applying compost tea more frequently may produce faster, more dramatic results, especially
in poor, underperforming soils. On the other hand, if your soil is excellent, or if you’ve been using compost tea regularly for a year or two, you may
find that you can reduce the frequency and/or concentration of treatments.
