From time to time..... It never hurts to review the basics. Making Compost Tea is a skill every Organic Grower should have. I ran across a really good web page (with pictures) that shows step by step how to do it. So, I'll include the hotlink and save myself a bunch of typing. Here it is:

How to Make Compost Tea page 1
.
In this guide, it speaks of mature compost, that simply means - fully finished compost. It also says to use cheesecloth to strain your compost tea with. If you don't have cheesecloth, an old pillowcase works real good.

Hope this helps someone....

Anyone have experience with making tea with Alpaca Manure? There are several large farms in my area that give it away to anyone willing to come and pick it up. I have heard wonderful things from local landscapers and gardeners.

I use an airstone instead of that gang valve, and usually just put my compost in a pillowcase and tie it off like a big teabag, but thats pretty much how I do it too. I always add molasses, and sometimes I mix bat guano and earthworm castings to the compost. Good post Ohsogreen!
