Q: Dear Dave,

This is not a question but a suggestion.   I have been playing in the garden with aerobic compost tea, and have had good luck. I’m sure you’ve heard of this. What I do is get an aquarium air pump, tubing, three air stones or more, good compost, cheese clothe or paint strainer bag, 5 or more gallon bucket.  Put all of it together and let the pump run for an hour or more depending on the quality of your water. Fill bag with compost and place in water for several days for better tea. Use right away or beneficial bacteria will die. Add fish emulsion or molasses one hour before use for better tea altogether. Please share this with your readers because this works for any plant on the planet.
