Composting and Tea

Familiar with Composting and HumusTea? Want to make your own? This is a simple, cost effective method.
Our compost Pile
What we used; 2 GeoPots, a soil/coco base, worms, a drain pan, our trustee Ninja Pruners and some good garbage.
Worms
Worms are a big part of this process, they expedite the composting and excrete nitrogen rich castings.
What's in the bottom GeoPot?
The first round of composting will require a base for your worms, we used a soil/coco husk mixture. Add your worms and organic waste and your are ready to att the top GeoPot.
The top GeoPot
The Top GeoPot sits inside of the bottom (as pictured). This is where you will throw your garbage or organic waste.
Holes in the top GeoPot?
Make sure to CUT HOLES in the top GeoPot so the worms can get up to the food (aka garbage).
Cutting, Grinding, Mulching
The Smaller the pieces the faster they composte. After a few uncomfortable cuts with these scissors, we new it time for an upgrade.
Cleaner cuts, smaller pieces, faster and more comforable than scissors
Watering
After cutting and turning your compost (top GeoPot), it's time to water. Watering will
  • (A) Give you a Humus Tea concentrate
  • (B) Allow your community to thrive
The Tea
After Watering, allow your Humus Tea to collect in the drain pan. The can be filtered with cheese cloth (so it doesn't clog your sprat bottle) and sprayed directly on your crops.
Diluting
You can also dilute it and include it when watering. We turned 1/2 gallon of concentrate into Approx 30 gallons of Tea.
Draining
Make Sure to drain off excess water, your worm will drown if oversaturated for too long.
After your composting is complete, just repeat!
(1)Use the compost from the bottom GeoPot. (2)The partially composted matter in top can be moved to the bottom for your base, (3) add your garbage, rinse and repeat.
