Compost Tea

[mudd024]

How often should I give my plants compost tea? everytime I water or only when I feed the plant nutrients?

that IS the feed. water, water, feed is a good schedule

you can use compost tea every water. depends if you add nutrients to it or not. if it is just plain compost tea that it shouldnt be bad for your plants.

If you are using soil you should only have to apply once or twice, the teas are mainly to feed or brew bacteria and once they are active and in your soil you just need to feed them. I use an earthworm/myco tea and only apply before planting or drench once early, then I just feed them with a local organic product. I think molasses is good to keep them healthy aswell.

Regardless of your recipe, it's gonna be hard to over inoculate with your brew...I rock a tea 1/week

i make feed teas and aact. 1 feed, 1 aact and 2 waters per week, but im in the desert so everything dries out faster here.

i've been feeding with nutrietns, then the next water is compost tea. So nutrient feed , then compost feed.

Mudd024..... If your compost is well aged & not hot (full of nutrients from dry ammendments you added to it), you can make a compost tea, and use it weekly with no worries.
.
IME it's best to feed (on one day), water (a few days later), then use a compost tea (a few days after using only water), over the course of 7 to 10 days, then repeat.....
