Pollinators@rootsandcalluses @Badgardener @Broadfork. You can enjoy harvesting the rouge plants. Dandelions are healthy for you and the compost pile, as you talked about. Nettles are super healthy for the soil biology. Our last nettle tea of the season is in five gallon buckets. #compost, #composttea, #CompostTheRich.
@KeithDJohnson. Thank you for sharing. This is a great garden system on the roof, some blended hydroponics, some compost tea, some native plants. #hydroponics, #compost, #nativeplants, #pollinators, #composttea, #oakland, #foodsecurity.
@ai6yr Look at that. Three varieties of #nematodes. #compost and #composttea help feed the soil biology and the plants.

Trying to get more biology in my #compost
Thanks https://www.adkaction.org/project/compost-for-good/ for all the help!
legumancer DavyI don't have a good way to cover the #compost pile and it's been raining a ton, so we have a whole lot of #CompostTea. Like, 10 gallons of it.
Do we just wait for the rain to lay off and then water plants with it? Does this stuff have an expiration date? It's too wet out to even water anything most of the time, so I'm just dumping all the tea in a 30 gallon tote and hoping the rain eventually stops.
Nicole#CompostAtHome tip
If you have to #transplant your #seedlings make a bucket of aerated #compost tea. Soak the #seedling in the #compostTea for 30 seconds to get the biological activity in the #soil block.
The big pro of doing this is that you won't have to water after the transplant and it will give enough nutrients for the plant to grow and avoid any shock.

Darryl CousinsI brew #CompostTea to grow beneficial soil bacteria, not for the nutrients. Hence the monitoring using the microscope. #Organic.
