I'm interested in your Actively Aerated Compost Tea. I used unamended topsoil for my California Native Plant garden. I was thinking that the Tea would help improve the disturbed soil. Would you recommend it for native plants, and if so, how much would I use?We needed topsoil for the raised vegetable beds but after reading your descriptions, I think we either need 2 yards of Nursery Mix and 2 yards of Fine Redwood Compost or 4 yards of your Essential Soil Landscape Mix. We are trying to keep costs down, what would you recommend for raised beds in a school garden that will be used for vegetables?
I have 40-50 year old oak trees with bare ground below. Not much leaf litter right now - want to mulch for the summer to protect roots. Which of your mulch mixes would be best?
I would like some information about buying and using compost tea.
We have a few questions about compost tea: If we apply the tea as a soil drench, is it necessary to use a sprayer? (We plan to apply it on an area of 3000 sq ft.). And even if we were to ask you to strain it, would we still need a nozzle that would handle larger particles that might end up in the sprayer? Do you have happen to have an estimate on how long it takes to apply 10 gallons/1000 sq ft?
Where does the local green waste for the organic compost come from? I'm trying to figure out just HOW organic things are before using them. I'm a residential customer planning on using organic compost (and mulch if you have it)
I have a patch of land 30 x 30 (about 1000 sf). The ground is full of clay. I'd like to plant a vegetable garden, surrounded by citrus trees, so I would want higher quality soil.What kind and how much soil would you recommend?
