Is compost juice from my Bioverter similar to compost tea?

Bioverter is well suited to turn kitchen wastes into compost liquid and solids. You can harvest the solids for use as mulch compost, or preferably, leave it to mature in a sheltered spot to become the best kind of compost ^[1] .

Your liquid harvest can be used immediately as compost juice.

Compost tea is made by immersing mature compost in water, to extract plant nutrients and beneficial microbes. It takes about 1 day, ideally with mixing to aerate the liquid.

Using compost tea

Compost tea is used to stimulate microbial life in soil by gardeners, organic and regenerative farmers. It is diluted with water and applied by watering. It can be sprayed onto plant foliage.

Using compost juice

Water your plants with diluted compost juice.

Your compost juice harvest contains soluble plant nutrients and a multitude of helpful microbes. Plants readily take up its soluble nutrients.

Like compost tea, the microbes in compost juice can help improve soil health to grow happy plants.

While mature compost greatly improves the soil ecology in selected areas, you can use compost juice to spread beneficial microbes over a larger area of your garden.

Producing beneficial microbes

Composting with Bioverter involves diverse natural microbes. You first set them up in the startup period, with the help of microbes in mature compost or garden soil to kick-start the microbial build-up.

The microbes multiply feeding on your wastes, and at the same time, convert waste matter into compost. You can view microbial composting as a means of producing both microbes and compost.

Microbes are an integral part of compost. In using compost juice and mature compost for soil enrichment, you return microbes to their habitat to boost microbial life, and as a result, improve the health of soil. An example of benefit - microbes in healthy soil assist plants resist disease, especially root disease.

To grow healthy plants, enrich your soil in selected areas with mature compost, and over a wider area with compost juice.
