the difference between foxfarm ferts and compost tea is that the compost tea is full of biology and does not have hardly any nutes. the foxfarms ferts are just nutes with no biology. its next to impossible to overdue compost tea since theres really no nutes. when brewing up compost tea just get a 5 gallon bucket,air stones and pump, about 2-3 cups of compost mix, a tablespoon of each molasses, seaweed product, and assortment of meals(all that will help feed the biology and make more comfortable for them to multiply) aerate for 24-36 hours. you only need to keep the few cups of compost in the bucket aerateing for about 6-12 hrs. when using the tea you can use it straight or diluted, it really depends on how much you have to water. if you can water all your plants with 5 gallons then do it, if you need 20 gallons of water then mix the 5 gallons of tea with 15 of water and it should still work great. i would feed about once a week, if you can do it more it shouldnt hurt it.


make sure the compost smells very rich and earthy, all compost no matter the source should smell earthy. every company and their source is different so cant say exactly. alot of compost you buy, is cooked a fast method over a period of about 6 months. great stuff to look for is a leaf mold compost, its more expensive, but on average its been cooking for 2 yrs and is the richest lightest compost i have ever seen. the best compost is the most diverse compost and a compost that has cooked through all stages.
my compost mix consists of about 2 cubic feet of each, regular 6 month old compost, 2 yr old leaf mold, mushroom compost, earth worm castings, and red lava sand
