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?

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)

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?
