    I top dress my flower with my compost. + put some in hose end sprayer. Or put in watering can. I think it helps a lot. But God watering our veggy and flowers past 2 day helped even more

    I've never made compost tea. I have a compost pile and I just put the finished compost in my beds. If I want to water in fertilizer, I use fish emulsion or sea weed concentrate. At least once a year I put epsom salts on the tomatoes and peppers.

    These are safe to spray on leaves too.

    I honestly don't understand the need for compost tea of you make compost.

    I have made manure tea but that's because I know the cows out here eat bermuda grass. I've been able to keep it under control..so far.
