Compost Tea by accident

21 years ago

Hi all!

I keep making compost tea. [lol] I throw garden waste into a very big flower pot in the drive. It has some contraption in the bottom that is supposed to provide drainage to any plant in it, but hold water/liquid in the bottom.

Well, through winter and rain, the water draining through my plant waste has created this really rich, brown ... stuff. I realized it when I moved the pot and some sloshed out of the hole in the side. Ok, it's a really weird pot.

Anyway, I've been watering it down a bit and putting it on my plants. I don't see any difference, but then with our 90 and 100 degree+ heat these days, I'm frankly lucky to see plants.

My question is whether or not there's a safe or unsafe amount of this stuff to put into my garden? Does it root burn like a chemical fertilizer would?

What's your opin-onion!?

Thanks,

Christine
