Keep It Simple Compost Tea Brewers and Compost

In the spring of 2004, Gus Wahner sprayed 1/2 of this cherry tree with compost tea. He used a mixture of 4-gallons of compost tea and 1 c. of fish emulsions. These are the results after only one spraying! This is a great example of beneficial microbes increasing nutrient cycling. At harvest time, you can see the difference. Yields were higher and leaf mass and health was also better on the sprayed side. In fact, much of the fruit is actually obscured from view by all the foliage on the compost tea side! Gus runs Custom Composting Services in Hermiston, Oregon. He has been using compost tea for 3 years. Gus has been a proponent of organic practices and compost tea fits nicely into his program.
