Aerated Compost Tea - The Cheapest, Most Effective Way to Revitalize Your Yard
 
Come find out about a new way to add health to the soil and plants in your yard. You will learn:
 
- How to make your own compost tea brewer for your yard
- The history and benefits of aerated compost tea
- How you can use these liquid organics to build healthy plants and soil
 
Aerated Compost Tea is made by putting good compost in a bucket or barrel of water and bubbling lots of air through it.  The wonderful soil micro-organisms in the compost multiply and you have a rich 'soup' that you can spray on your soil and plants.
 
Soil micro-organisms are important to the health of your soil and plants because they break down organic matter and make nutrients available to plants.
