Tea in the garden
Article Abstract:
Compost tea which is a mixture of compost, water and substrate like molasses stewed together in a brew is being increasingly used as an organic fertilizer in many private and public landscapes like Rose Gardens in Chicago's Grant Park. Its benefits are manifold since it puts nutrients and beneficial microorganisms back into the soil enriching what has been depleted due to exposure to pesticides and inorganic fertilizers and is very economical compared to the traditional pesticides.
