Whenever I talk to my students about making Compost Tea, they often feel it is to much work.

The same happens when I explain Compost Tea to farmers or home gardeners.

You know,  I love Biodynamic Agriculture, especially the practice of Dynamization, a process that increases the amount of oxygen in the water and increasing exponentially the microbiological life in the water.

After having looked at the video below I started to combine the Dynamization practice with the Compost Tea making process in my permaculture system and I had very BIG results (see these Giant Squash).

The process is really simple and not time-consuming; what you need to do is:

  • Take your compost;
  • Put worm castings (you can find close to your compost pile) and molasses together to the compost in a small bucket;
  • Mix all these components with water using a pump with high pressure; you will bring a lot of oxygen into the solution;
  • Start the dynamization of the solution you created;
  • Spray your Compost Tea everywhere you can as soon as possible.

The combination of different methodologies is one of the reasons of the success in my garden and at my courses….so, now, enjoy the video and try immediately to produce your Compost Tea in the Biodynamic way.

Hi, really enjoyed learning more about compost teas and black gold. In the black gold compost, do I need to wash and soak the seaweed before adding it or is it ok to use straight from the beach?

Many thanks in advance

    Hello Joya,

    Thank you for your question about using seaweed in compost tea. It is best to wash and soak the seaweed before adding it to the compost to remove any salt or debris that may be present. This will ensure that the seaweed is able to properly break down and provide the necessary nutrients to your plants. Additionally, using seaweed straight from the beach may also introduce unwanted organisms or bacteria that could negatively impact the health of your compost. We hope this helps and happy composting!

    Best regards,
    Giuseppe Tallarico, General Manager of World Permaculture Association
