Sustainable gardening is on the rise.
There is increasingly more evidence that avoiding manmade chemicals in your garden benefits your health as well as the environment. Amending the soil organically increases the nutrition of your food as well as decreasing water usage and maintaining the safety of our groundwater. Compost and compost tea are key components in the preservation of soil health.
SoilSoup compost tea provides superior liquid compost that can be easily brewed in 24 hours. SoilSoup greatly improves the tilth of the soil by infusing it with billions of microbes to help meet the carbon needs of your garden.
Why are microbes so important?
They form a complex symbiotic relationship with roots
Microbes trap nitrogen and make it plant available
They convert rocks and clay into plant available fertilizer
They make hormones and other chemical agents required for growth
They degrade harmful manmade chemicals left in the soil
They produce glue like material that improves soil structure and increases water retention.

Worm tea
Is worm castings which have been soaked in water and oxygenated. The extra oxygen causes a bloom of the good bacteria, plus the added benefit of nitrogen, phosphate, calcium, magnesium and potash. The liquid that drains out of a worm composting bin is leachate. Leachate contains undissolved solids and some potentially harmful bacteria. However, it can be aerated as described below and used.
Some of the benefits of the tea include:
- a natural repellent for scale, mites, white flies, and aphids
- natural fungicide in soil and on plant surfaces increase in plant stem size and foliage acts as a soil conditioner
-
will not burn plants creates healthy soil for healthy plants
-
aides in the creation of colloidal humus
-
grows healthier fruits and vegetables than those treated with chemical fertilizers
-
improves water retention in soil
-
reduces the amount of waste going to the landfill, because worms eat our garbage
