The Bubbler Compost Tea Brewing System

A simple and effective system for home use

 

Why Compost Tea?

Compost Tea contains a huge diversity of actively growing and beneficial reproducing microorganisms that can greatly improve plant and soil health.

Compost Tea aids the natural biological process in soil to make nutrients and water more available to the root systems of your plants, helping to maintain healthy, strong, and thriving plants.

Benefits Include:

  • Protects plants from disease causing organisms

  • Reduces need for harmful pesticides

  • Improving nutrient retention in soil

  • Decreases run-off and leaching

  • Reduces need for watering

  • Helps roots grow deeper/denser

  • Improves overall soil health

  • Organic (creates a safer environment for children and pets)

 

How it works

Plants cannot directly absorb the nutrients it needs from the soil. Instead, the relationship between a plant's roots and the soil is a complex one that involves many organisms working in symbiotic relationship with each other. Good soil contains lots of microbes and beneficial bacteria that convert the nutrients in the soil into an acceptable form that the plant's roots can absorb. By applying compost tea to the soil, you are effectively "jump-starting" the soil full of beneficial organisms needed to speed up the conversion of nutrients for the plant to absorb. You cannot over apply compost tea for this reason.

 

How to use

Brew tea according to instructions included.

Use tea immediately after brewing (while beneficial microbes and bacteria are at peak levels).

Tea can be applied by pouring the tea around the base of the plant, or sprayed onto the leaves. Use as much as desired, however be careful not to over water the plant and cause rotting.
