Benefits of Using Instant Compost Tea™ in the Home Garden

• No Brewing Required - Unlike traditional compost teas that demand hours of aeration and equipment, Instant Compost Tea is a concentrated powder you mix with water and apply. Fast, clean, and ready in minutes.
• Beneficial Microbes - Packed with millions of dormant microorganisms that activate on contact with water, flooding the root zone with bio-activity that supports nutrient absorption, soil structure, and natural plant defense.
• Amino Acids and Kelp - These naturally derived compounds improve stress resistance, support photosynthesis, and provide growth-stimulating hormones that benefit plants at every stage from seedling through bloom.
• Yeast and Peptides - Help break down nutrients already present in the soil into more plant-available forms, reducing waste and improving the efficiency of your overall feeding program.
• Highly Economical - A single 5-oz bag makes up to 50 gallons of ready-to-use compost tea. One pound makes up to 160 gallons, making this one of the most cost-effective biological amendments available for home gardeners.
• Use at Any Stage - Suitable for seedlings, vegetative growth, bloom, and fruiting. Works as a root drench, foliar spray, or through any irrigation method, including hydroponics and drip systems.
