Does this product contain microorganisms for a compost tea

I have a recipe for worm compost tea, and it includes humic acid, so I bought some of this to add to the mix.

in response, no tera vita sp-90 does not contain microorganisms but is excellent to use in a compost tea or soil mix

I don't think it does. But I do know that pure earthworm castings come loaded with beneficial bacteria and microbes. That's whats usually used in a compost

You still need compost to brew the tea but it will add to the healthy biology of the tea. A little goes a long way!

Hi there. The collection base is a great feature. As you are composting you need to keep your material damp, so when your apply water it passes through the decomposing material and collects in the base. This becomes compost tea which is high in nutrients and should be used occasionally when watering your plants. Great stuff compost tea. However from our experience you need to elevate the whole unit to get at the spout, so we have our unit on an out door table. So if the unit is not elevated you need to remove the barrel and have a second pair of hands to help you drain the base. In closing we are happy with the product.

being that it is organic and uses organic microbes, they should not kill the earthworms or red worms in your compost since they create similar microbes and live in the same dirt. I would test it out with only a small bit if you are concerned and see if they are still living after a week of using it. i usu it for only starting a fresh batch without microbes or worms.

It sounds like you may need to empty the compost tea container underneath. Yes, when the door is on top, the compost tea goes through to the container below.

Tests of Chinese teas have consistently shown them to be inferior to Japanese teas in terms of heavy metal (especially lead) contamination. The fact that it is organic has absolutely nothing to do with lead content.

No. This is pure organic unradiated, sustainably grown powdered green matcha tea.

I can't answer the question, but when asked the manufacturer should answer it. You must provide the ration of NPK listed on the bag or else how would anybody know what is in it? I assure you one thing, it is not organic if it does not say Certified Organic or OMRI.

Living in California, can't help you about rain water., but do not let the compost get too wet you have to throw a lot of it away. I find that material of tea bags does not degrade .

I dont know for sure- but I think it is not matter- as this extract is so strong antimicrobial so it just cant spoil ! no germs will ever grow there - if this answer make sense to you-

According to the label, no. It lists purified water, organic stevia leaf extracts and natural flavors. Hope this helps.

My understanding that that green tea is in the low to 0 category. Might be best to seek answer from an Apothecary or specialty tea shop to be absolutely certain.

I did, but cut back on other organic "additives". Not counting compost in there, just ANY thing that came out of a container. And of course you always have to watch your NPK.

Sorry, don't compost. I suggest you contact St. Gabriel Organics for info like that.

No. There are holes along most of the unit to allow the "compost tea" to drain and be collected. However, I have not have a problem with bugs.

What's draining out of the bottom is not compost tea, it is called ( compost leachate ) here is a good link that can explain a little better.. http://www.douggreensgarden.com/compost-tea-vs-manure-tea-vs-compost-leachate.html I had the same thoughts until it was mentioned to me.In the event you do make a compost tea, the recommended mix is 1 part tea...10 parts water... jimmy

The directions that come with the composter I think said a 3 parts water to one part tea... Not 100% confident.

No you shouldn't use half a tea bag. This bag shoul come with 4 tea bags, making five gallons each bag for a total of 20 gallons of compost tea. If you decide to use each bag more than once it's your call, but it could be less potent. This will also increase the total gallons.
