This garden writer tells her story of past gardening seasons with blighted tomatoes and wilted flowering impatien baskets which were treated numerous times with aerated compost tea purchased at a garden center. She can’t be sure it was the aerated compost tea that kicked the blight or the wilt, but regardless, now she swears by it. She is like me. I don’t need the scientific proof that it works, I know it works and that is all I need to know. I will leave the scientific data and know how to Dr. Elaine Ingham and my good friend Jeff Lowenfels, all I know it just works.

Great article! Compost tea is the only fertilizer I use in the organic garden. I make mine with a few hand-fulls of compost in a 5-gallon bucket of water and bubble it with a fish pump for 2 days. It’s great stuff!
