Compost tea and soil

Compost tea is a natural liquid fertiliser made from compost and water. It is popular among gardeners in Malaysia because it helps plants grow well and keeps the soil healthy. It is also easy to make and use materials that are often found at home.
To make compost tea, first prepare a bucket or a large container. Put some good compost into a cloth bag or an old sock. Then place it in the bucket filled with water. In Malaysia, rainwater or water that has been left overnight is usually better because it has fewer chemicals. Leave the compost in the water for about one to two days. During this time, the nutrients from the compost will mix with the water.
