Soil and Compost Tea
A rich soil life is of great importance for
Directions for use
the organic cultivation of plants. Bacteria,
fungi and other micro-organisms break
down organic matter and convert it into
nutrients for plants.
The larger and more diverse the range of
bacteria and fungi in the soil or the
potting soil, the better the plants will
grow. This has a direct impact on the
health of plants and their yield.
A rich soil life, moreover, provides more
than just food for plants. A rich soil life
powered by
also produces antibiotics and vitamins.
Compost tea is a mixture of chlorine-free
water at room temperature, compost,
and various other ingredients rich in
micro-organisms, which also occur in the
soil. Compost tea considerably enriches
the soil life and is therefore an important
tool for organic growers. Compost tea is
aerated for 24 to 36 hours. You can add
extra ingredients to the tea during the
aeration phase. The aeration increases
the micro-organisms in the fluid.

Biotabs PK Booster Compost Tea
Biotabs makes it easy for growers with
the composition of a do it yourself kit for
compost tea, especially for fast-growing
annuals. The package consists of rich
and powerful compost, with a healthy
mixture of active micro-organisms
(bacteria-dominant), batguano, kelp
and a few other selected ingredients. In
addition, the package contains a
unique mixture of bacteria which create
phosphorous (P), and mobilise Potassium
(K). These bacteria give your plants a
large dose of phosphorus (P) and
potassium (K), a true PK boost!!
The addition of ORGATREX as nutrition for
bacteria along with the aeration can
cause an explosive multiplication of the
micro-organisms in the compost tea.

fast-growing annuals, with an optimal
composition, developed through years
of testing in practice.

of litres) at the moments it suits
the grower.
Brewing system
Compost tea brewing systems
are sold in specialised stores.
But you can also easily make a
brewing set-up yourself with a
bucket, a hose with an aeration
stone and an aquarium pump.
For larger quantities, use a barrel,
a (garden) hose with pricked
holes and a powerful pump. The
purpose of this installation is to
actively pump air into the mixture.
Make sure the pump you are
using is strong enough to truly get
the tea bubbling. You can check
for yourself whether your pump is
powerful enough. If the tea starts
to stink the pump is not powerful
enough. Well aerated compost
tea smells fresh and pleasant.
Clean the compost brewer well
after use. Do not use chlorine,
but a solution with 3% hydrogen
peroxide, or another
cleaning agent.
