Hi Eric,
I'm glad you're here to talk about compost tea, one of the most neglected areas of organic gardening. As Thomas Edison sort of said, nobody wants to do it because it comes covered in overalls and it looks like work.

Best wishes from the East Riding of Yorkshire. We all drink tea from small cups and live in castles here.
Hi Eric,
Not used to seeing anyone who lives just up the M62 from me on this forum!
Anyway, I’m afraid I haven’t got any intelligent questions to ask about compost teas but I’ve been enjoying this thread 😊

My dad once told me that he'd heard that plants like tea and he started watering the houseplants with left-over Orange Pekoe!
Dear Jay,
Thanks for your welcome. I am thinking that your dad might have had something there. I know that Orange Pekoe is supposed to be very high grade tea from the Camellia sinensis plant. I also know that it contains a heady mix of bioactive compounds. It is not unreasonable to think that it may have given your plants a boost and I expect it definitely gave your Dad a boost too.
WARNING permaculture is highly addictive, it may cause life altering changes such as valuing people, community and resources, and promote respect, learning, support and kindness .
