Method and apparatus for making compost tea

摘要

A method and apparatus for producing a liquid compost material. A starter compost material is added to water within a first tank and nutrients are further added. The materials are aerated for a first known time period to facilitate bacterial breakdown until the formation of the liquid compost material or tea is complete whereupon a portion of the tea is removed. Water is added together with nutrients to the remaining tea in the tank and aeration continues for a second and much smaller time period. Liquid compost material is again formed in the tank within the second time period.
