Turn Kitchen Waste into Compost Tea

Making your own organic liquid fertilizer is not hard. You can turn your regular kitchen scrap and kitchen waste into rich organic compost tea that not only provides nutrients to the soil but also adds microbial activity to the soil and makes the soil living. In this video I show how you can make compost tea from kitchen waste and how to use compos tea as well.

I dehydrate my food scraps in the oven and then grind them up and add coffee/tea, dried banana peels and dried crushed egg shells. I make a Supermix and mix it into the soil. I didn’t know you could make a compost tea out of it. I like it. I could do both. 👍👍

[@Naezbless1]

This was the most simple compost video, I don’t have room to store a brewing bucket, I have compost containers and wormbins no room for anything else. I’m seriously working hard to balance living soil and love the ability to use kitchen scraps in other forms. This is me work smarter and not harder love it. Even some of the organic fertilizer are suspect based on USA FDA murky guidelines.

[@weallmadhere]

I've been doing it all wrong😬. I was just blending it all up and simply dumping it around my trees. They didn't seem to complain and liked it because they gave me crazy amounts of fruit. This year I must've had some watermelon seeds left after blending. I had watermelon vines around my trees everywhere. I left them alone and grew my first watermelons🤷🏼‍♀️. Nature is amazing!

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

It's not wrong, it's still adding nutrients, the additional steps in the videos helps to increase microbial activity

[@weallmadhere]

I have been wanting to try making compost tea. Thank you for this very clear information!

[@DeadeyeJoe37]

Welcome to the world of David The Good's fetid swamp water! Take this to the next level by getting a large bucket or barrel and basically doing the same thing, but also adding in weeds. I will blend up bones from roasted chicken (since they're relatively soft) in my blendtec and at them to the barrel to get a big infusion of phosphorus You can keep adding to it over time. You can stir the liquid and get as much liquid as you need to make your tea. The Koreans use this method also and say that the longer you keep the barrel going, the better it gets!

[@zenaidsisic2762]

Great

[@DiBaozi]

I thought about doing this so I'm glad to see pro gardeners actually do this and I'm not crazy

[@GG-mu4wg]

Compost tea has negligible amounts of plant available NPK, so don't waste your time. Were all a little crazy & disinformation certainly doesn't help 😅

[@sunshineriv6850]

Great info Jag. I appreciate your short but very informative videos you go straight to the point. As a very busy person I always appreciate short but straightforward videos. New subscriber here!

How long does it have to sit before you can use it. Love your vids - so helpful when I don’t have a lot of money.

[@icilene5117]

Healthy for the plants. 🌱

[@debbiep7419]

Wow. I've seen people talk about using compost tea but you've made the process look so possible for me. You said we could store the compost tea concentrate for 6 months but how long should we let it steep before starting to use it? I love that you're focused on feeding the soil instead of the plants; I've found the best gardeners do!

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Let the concentrate steep for atleast 2 days.

[@jmc9455]

Does it matter if the produce is going bad, starting to decay or has signs of mold already?? Like all the information that you share- very educational and informative. blessings

Is it better for the concentrate to sit before using?

[@haydehabdolahian7691]

In summer I dig the garden and drop all my scrap there and bury it , in the winter here in Minneapolis is hard because out side it freezes ! I dry my egg shell and banana peels in the over and ground it for using in my flower pots in spring 🤷🏼‍♀️would you have any idea how we can compost in the -10 F ? I have to take my coffee ground out in to the garage and it freeze until may 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@clarevart661]

Thank for this, a question, I did the same but used a wide mouth jar, after a week or so, the top of the solution turned to white mold. What happened? Could it be that too much air was circulating in the jar? Is it still ok to use? Can I just true the mold part away and use the rest?

How soon can i start using the compost tea concentrates after finished blending it?

[@vincentcheung8345]

OK I've just made my first bucket full of this tea. I estimate it'll be used it up in about a month. What about if I keep topping it off with "freshly made" tea, will the "shelf life" be extended? 2 years or more?

[@justsayin5609]

Greetings from Canada Jag. My question is, I start my seedlings indoors under lights. Would there be any issue with fungus gnats using this technique? You have a great channel and I hope you are recovering from the flood. Wishing you well this season.

[@stormgirl4881]

Ok.please help. I live in Florida, and when there's no grass to cut I have a 5-gallon bucket I keep water in and I get like you did vegetable scraps I dehydrate a lot so I'll get scraps onion scraps carrots whatever and I've been grinding them up in a blender and then I've been adding it to this 5 gallon bucket of water and I just keep adding and then I use out of it and then I add more water and add more ground vegetables, and get a jug and pour it on my plants or on my garden getting it ready for spring. Now I was looking into whether you can add any baking soda or Epsom salt to it and someone said that if you let it sit like that that you're going to grow bacteria and get e-coli. So now I'm freaking out I've just mixed it in with all my soil and topsoil getting my garden ready. Have I really messed up or what??

Thank you for this video. Really appreciate, it's great. Like another commenter I also would like to know how soon after making it can this compost tea be used on the garden? Also can you keep adding new material to the original batch, i.e. keep topping it up, or does each fresh made batch need to be put into a separate bottle. Thanks 😊

You can use it 2 days after making the concentrate. Sorry, forgot to mention this. Yes, you can keep adding more to the concentrate.

What about green tea?

I am not sure if I caught this, do you let your compost tea right away or do you let it set for a while? I am making my own compost in trash cans but they are full now. So I want to keep using my scraps and this seems to be a great way to keep it going. Thank you

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Let the concentrate sit for atleast 3 days. You can keep the concentrate for upto a year. From concentrate you can use right away after diluting aerating the compost tea.

[@TD-nf1qo]

You mention rinsing the milk jug prior to use...just curious - wouldn't leaving a bit of milk help to jump start different microbes? I'm just thinking about yogurt/probiotics/etc, but I don't know the first thing about this. Thanks for a great tutorial!!

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Milk goes rancid fast and smells really bad especially if you age and brew the compost tea, that's the only reason.

[@TD-nf1qo]

@@DaisyCreekFarms That makes sense. Thank you 😊

Quick question. Can I just pour the mixture from the blender straight into the soil and cover it up, so it will be ready in no time?

Yes you can, however, wait about a week to plant in the same spot.

After mixing your ingredients for your tea, how long do you let it sit before steeping it?

Concentrate you can use from day 3 to upto a year. After you steep it in the bucket to aerate it, use within 4 hours.

Of course. Some people say citrus peels scare away earthworms. Personally, I don't think it matters much - worst case, they will be decaying for a little bit longer. Microorganisms in the compost pile will take care of it sooner or later.

I have a question what about fertilizing home mix (i,e. perlite peatmoss and such) ?

[@mikyahalbena-yasharal3387]

Isn’t it better, to water the soil first?

[@vincentcheung8345]

Most of us have chlorine and chloramines in our tap water. So using it directly to dilute the solution may kill the microbs??? We should at least let the water sit because the chlorine will dissipate after a few hours, although chloramines will not. To be safe I added a little "tap water conditioner" for aquarium fish before use.
