By following these steps, you can create a potent and beneficial Xtreme Bokashi Compost tea that enhances plant growth and soil health, utilizing the power of fermented organic matter.

Prepare the Tea:

To prepare the Bokashi Compost Tea, you will need a large container or bucket, water (preferable rainwater or dechlorinated tap water, to avoid harming the beneficial microorganisms), cheese cloth, and a measuring cup.

The recommended rate is 1 cup Xtreme Bokashi Compost to 1 gallon of water. Measure 1 cup of Xtreme Bokashi Compost and place it on your cheese cloth. Tie the four corners tightly together to create a bundle. Then add 1 gallon of water. You can make a larger mixture as long as you use the recommended rate.

To enhance the oxygenation of the tea, you can use a air pump similar to ones used in fish tanks.

Brew the Tea:

To brew the Bokashi Compost Tea, drop in your cheese cloth Bokashi bundle and massage gently with your hands to start the process. Allow the mixture to steep for 24 to 48 hours. During this time, the beneficial microbes and nutrients will leach into the water.

Strain the Liquid:

Once the tea is steeped, remove your cheese cloth bundle and save. This will leave you with a nutrient-rich liquid. The solid remnants can be added back to your compost pile or directly into your garden soil as a soil amendment.

Dilute the Bokashi Compost Tea:

The resulting Xtreme Bokashi Compost tea is quite potent and should be diluted before use. A typical dilution ratio is 1:100, meaning one-part Xtreme Bokashi Compost tea to 100 parts water. This helps prevent nutrient burn in plants. Adjust the dilution based on the needs of your plants and the concentration of the tea.

Application:

Pour the diluted Xtreme Bokashi Compost tea into a watering can or spray bottle. Use it to water your plants, focusing on the soil around the base of the plants. Xtreme Bokashi Compost tea can be used for both garden plants and potted plants.

Frequency: 

Apply Xtreme Bokashi Compost tea once every two weeks or as needed, depending on the nutrient requirements of your plants. 

Observation: 

Monitor your plants for any signs of over-fertilization or nutrient burn and adjust the dilution or frequency of application accordingly. Best to err on the side of cause with less is more

Use the Bokashi Compost tea use soon after making it to ensure maximum microbial activity and nutrient content.
