Compost Tea from the Bokashi Indoor Kitchen Composter

After 4 weeks, the composter has produced about a 1/4 cup of compost tea. I didn’t add any water to the composter – all of this liquid came from anaerobic bacteria breaking up the fruit and vegetable scraps that I put in it.

   It works best on houseplants, but can also be used on the yard or anywhere that you’re trying to promote nutrient cycling. It’s a good alternative to fertilizer because it helps plants get more nutrients out of the same old soil.

   Just be sure it’s well diluted before use – about 1 teaspoon per gallon. From what I understand, the stuff is very acidic. I had some extra juice one day & sine I didn’t need it in the garden, I poured it, undiluted, on top of some bokashi I had buried. Well, it was so strong, it killed all the earthworms. Now, when I have extras, I pour it down the garbage disposal or the toilet. It’s supposed to help get rid of any accumulated sludhe.
