Indoor Plants:
The recommended dilution rate on the bottle (1 tablespoon per quart of water) is a conservative and economical amount, safe for all plants, especially potted indoor plants. This dilution is safe to use during regular watering intervals. The amount of tea-to-water ratio may be increased depending on the application. For indoor potted plants such as Azaleas, Peace Lilies, and certain orchids that are sensitive to water and nutrition, we suggest sticking to the bottle's instructions without altering the ratio. For more hardy indoor plants such as Philodendrons, Ivies, and other tough pants, the dilution rate can be increased to about 1:4 (tea to water) with regular watering. For these tougher plants, precise measuring is not necessary—you can simply estimate the ratio. Adjust the dilution as needed within this range.Outdoor Potted Plants:
Outdoor potted plants often require more frequent watering, especially in warmer weather, where they may need it daily or even a couple times a day. We recommend using compost tea once or twice a week, or every ten days, rather than with every watering. The dilution rate can be adjusted similarly to that of hardy indoor potted plants, around 1:4 (tea to water).Gardens and Flower Beds:
For plants that grow directly in the ground, the dilution rate is even less stringent. It can safely go all the way up to 1:1 (tea:water), even if adding everyday. However, that is not necessary and would be rather costly. We recommend using something more like 1:4, once or twice every week or every ten days.Lawns:
Grasses typically will not benefit significantly from the trace nutrients in compost tea unless a substantial amount is applied. However, they can gain from the microbes and bacteria that provide disease protection when sprayed directly onto the foliage. Due to the large volume, we recommend a dilution rate of four ounces per gallon of water. Instead of watering the soil, focus on thoroughly soaking the leaves. This should be done separately from regular watering and at a time that allows for the longest interval before the next watering or rainfall.Trees and Shrubs:
The dilution rate for trees and shrubs is comparable to that for gardens and flower beds, allowing for a wide range of concentrations. We recommend a rate of 1:4, applied a few times a year. For new plantings, consider increasing the frequency to once a week.
How to Use:
Super Compost Tea
Soil Amendment
Directions for Use
Shake well Add 1 tablespoon to each quart of water or 2 ounces to each gallon of water (1 oz. = 2 tbs) Water plants as normal Wash hands after use If sprayed directly on fruits or vegetables, wait 2 days before harvesting Rinse fruits or vegetables before consuming
