Video Summary: Making compost tea gives you the ability to treat a large amount of plants or soil with tons of beneficial microbes using as little as 3 cups of compost. By pulling microbes off the surface of compost or vermicompost, then adding air and food to explode the numbers of those microbes, you can deliver the same biology as several cubic yards of highbiology compost.
