Our compost tea program is designed to do more than just feed plants—it builds the living soil system that trees and plants depend on to thrive.
Spring and Fall
In the spring and fall, we focus on establishing strong biological foundations by introducing both endo- and ectomycorrhizal fungi. These specialized fungi form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, extending their ability to access water and nutrients. Because different tree species rely on different types of mycorrhizae, we tailor our applications to ensure the right partnerships are formed—supporting long-term health, resilience, and growth.
We also promote populations of beneficial microbes and predatory nematodes, which help regulate harmful organisms naturally and contribute to a balanced soil ecosystem.
Summer
In the summer, our focus shifts to what we call nutrient loading. During this phase, we reduce fungal inputs and instead deliver a rich blend of organic nutrients, including crab, molasses, fish hydrolysate, and liquid kelp. This provides readily available nutrition during peak growing season, fueling plant energy, canopy development, and overall vigor.
Our compost tea will not harm any living thing that comes in contact with it — pets, wildlife, people, soil, or groundwater. Compost tea will never burn tree roots, plants, or leaves.
