Compost teas are a simple way to nourish your plants: they provide nutrients in a readily available form, so they’re quickly absorbed by plants’ roots. Compost tea, made from plants from your own garden, improves soil biology and soil structure by boosting or replenishing beneficial micro-organisms. It can help to protect plants from disease and it can improve nutrient uptake – and this, in turn, improves the health and growth of plants.

We’ll learn what compost (or weed) tea is, how it works, and the benefits of using it in your garden, and we’ll follow a step-by-step process to make our own tea. You’ll go home with your own compost tea starter to boost your early-summer garden.
