RE: Ligaya Garden ocasional tips - Activated Compost Tea
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Wow, I never knew Yarrow was at the top of the list for activating the mojo in compost. I grow a patch of it and often clip off scraps which I throw onto the compost pile. Think I will start adding yarrow greens to my compost bucket too, which I use to make compost drippings/tea. Usually I only throw kitchen scraps and weeds in my compost bucket.
Is there any way to measure the quality or effectiveness of the compost tea? It is brown and full of tannins, but looks and scent doesn't tell us much.

Yarrow will kick things off nicely I must plant some more. And more comfrey - the chooks shredded it!
For the tea, I just reckon its done when its done. The only way is to observe each batch and get a feel for it. There must be some science to it but its beyond my ken
