Compost Tea

"Would you like and adventure? .. or shall we have tea first?"

..Name the book.

How can I use this knowledge throughout the year to protect my soil health? 

Hand full of biology-rich, oxygen-rich compost.  Bucket of non-chlorinated water.  Spoon of molasses without sulphites (what do sulphites do - kill bacteria).  Air pump.  

Pump air through the water-compost-sugar mixture in the bucket for 24-48 hours for the bacteria to party!

Spray on plants, roots, seeds, soil, everything.

If you don't have a pump you can "wash" your handful of freshly made oxygen-rich compost in the bucket and the microbes that were on the compost will wash into the water and can be used in the same way.  You won't have the benefit of "breeding" higher bacterial numbers, but your microbes will still be able to be sprayed onto plants etc having a similarly beneficial effect and going a lot further and sprinkling a handful of compost would.

I'll come back and make this legible at some point.  xx
