compost teas

Shawn, evening....  Compost tea.... It is a brew of soluble ingredients in your compost.... Content is based on  what percentage of whatever is in the compost dissolves in the water you put it in.... some elements are not soluble so they won't be in the tea but will remain in the solids...  Never throw away the insoluble matter..... Put it in the soil as an ammendment.... 

Was this vague enough ??   Don't know how else to explain it.... 

When  you buy Miracle Grow for instance.... it is usually all soluble.....   Dave

Dr. Elaine Ingham, a soil scientist, is the person who has fueled the recent popularity of compost tea.
As far as the NPK value goes, that's going to depend upon what exactly you put in to your tea.

Here's a good article by Dr. Ingham......
