And when you’re done with your coffee, take the spent grounds to your compost pile!

How to Make Compost Tea Fertilizer for Your Garden Plants:

Ingredients

3 to 4 gallons non-chlorinated water*
2 to 6 cups compost

Equipment/Tools

5 gallon bucket
Shovel
Strainer
Spray bottle

*Well water. If you don’t have a well, use collected rain water or put the needed gallons of ‘city water’ in a bucket and let it sit for a few days for chemicals to ‘perk out.’ Seriously, though? City water isn’t going to hurt anything in the long run.

When we went to that garden tour a few weeks ago, one of the places had a compost station, and the husband explained how he made compost tea. Fascinating.
