Plants depend on microorganisms to:

  • Occupy leaf, stem, and root surfaces so disease cannot get established.

  • Help the plants naturally cycle nutrients from the soil.

  • Break down toxic compounds that could inhibit growth.

  • Build good soil structure so air and water can reach the roots in the right proportions.

What are the benefits of Compost Tea?

Creates a biologically active soil that naturally encourages healthy plants that are better able to resist insects and disease.

  • Reduces soil compaction, allowing roots to grow further into the soil for more nutrients and water.

  • Prevents nutrients from leaching so they are present when your plants require them.

  • Improves soil structure so water can penetrate instead of running off the surface, which over time will reduce watering requirements.

  • Environmentally friendly and puts life back into your soil, as nature intended.

It just makes sense!
