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
Here are links to a couple of older topics on the subject of Compost Tea...they might answer any questions you have.. Compost tea, what are the pros and cons? Compost Tea??
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.
