Does compost tea really work?

4 comments

Yes it does and it works rather well on plants that do not like the extreme heat like my four oh’ clocks and cosmos.
This is what they looked like about 7:00pm tonight before I gave them a one gallon drink of home-made compost tea. They were not happy at all:

Only 45 minutes later they looked like this:

That’s amazing!
On another note, get a load of what my freshly planted watermellon seeds are doing:

I think that I have a bunch of “happy campers” for now!

The Banana Peppers growing in the “wild” did not like today’s 105 deg. summer heat at all:

The same peppers growing in an old wine barrel that was amended with compost, lava-sand, green-sand, expanded shale, zeolite, and shredded tree trimmings for mulch are showing no heat stress at all and are producing new peppers like crazy:

These banana peppers that are planted in my most rich organic environment are showing the least amount of “heat stress” this summer and have not been bothered by any native bugs or other “plant-stress related” issues..

MOST interesting!
