APPLICATION GUIDELINE
ASSEMBLY GUIDE
YOU CANNOT OVERDOSE COMPOST TEA
Soil Application:
Apply approx 1 litre of Compost Tea to 2 - 50 sqm. Add to enough water to drench
the root zone of your plants. i.e. 1 litre of Compost Tea concentrate in 9 litres of
water.
Foliar application:
Using a watering can or sprayer, sprinkle or spray over the plants, or newly emerging
seeds. Allow the water to contact the top and bottom of the leaves and
run off to
the soil below.
Add 1 litre of Compost Tea brew to 9 litres of clean water.
Compost Teas may be applied throughout the year, excluding periods when
temperatures are below zero. Monthly applications are recommended but when
plants experience drought (wilting) or disease stress, applications can be more
frequent.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your BioBrewer
Cleanliness of your BioBrewer is very important. Any residue dirt may harbour plant
pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Therefore, clean the brewer immediately after a tea
has been produced.
Follow the steps below to clean the brewer:
Cleaning the BioBrewer Container
Wash the brewer after every use.
Wash the bucket out with clean water to
remove any residues.
Fill the brewer with a little water and add
soap. Wipe with a sponge or cloth until
clean.
Rinse out with clean water to remove
any soap residue.
Avoid staining and residual build up in
the brewer
Every few months fill the brewer with
water and add 100ml of bleach to 1L of
water
Allow to stand overnight and rinse
thoroughly.
Cleaning the Airstone
Clean the airstone after every use
Wash off surface soiling.
Make a up solution of 10% bleach (100ml
normal household bleach (i.e. Domestos
4.7%) in 1 litre of cold water
Place the airstone in the solution and leave
for 15 mins. 20 mins for badly soiled air
stones.
Replace the bleach solution with clean
cold water and immerse the airstone for
15mins to rinse. Repeat as necessary.
Connect the airstone to the pump to blow
through for 10 /15 mins.
The air stone will then be ready to re-use.
