Action, Doing It, Carpe Diem

"Compost tea is a water-based, oxygen rich culture containing large populations of beneficial aerobic bacteria, nemotodes, fungi, and protozoa, which can be used to bioremediate toxins." -Scott Kellogg and Stacy Pettigrew, Toolbox for Sustainable City Living, page 185.

The DIY guide Toolbox for Sustainable City Living explains what compost tea is, the role of microorganisms, and provides step-by-step instructions on brewing and applying it.
