Question 1

How do gardeners make basic compost tea?

Water draws soluble nutrients and microorganisms out of compost for liquid application.

Question 2

How does aeration change a compost-tea brew?

Aeration increases dissolved oxygen and favors bacteria and fungi that tolerate oxygen in the brew.

Question 3

Why do gardeners strain compost tea before spraying plants?

Fine compost particles can block sprayer nozzles, so straining removes solids before foliar application.
