There are a couple/few things you can do. A lady I know makes her compost tea from regular compost. She puts compost in a 5 gal bucket, adds water, stirs it up and lets it sit for 24hrs. The sirs again before watering her plants.

My method is different. I just put out 55gal barrels and add ingredients, let god water it and let nature do the rest. Ingredients include things like old fertilizers, old feed (liquid cattle feed mostly), things like old milk, fermented juice and the like. Leaves and debris will fall into the barrels. We put tubs and barrels out for rain water collection and put fish in them. Debris falls in them and takes away room for the fish to swim. I remove this debris in the spring and add it to my compost barrels. What I do is similar to compost tea, but more like liquid composing; which is similar to compost tea and/or making liquid fertilizer.

Ingredients to make compost tea: Most importantly; adding chlorine free water! If you have chlorinated water; Vitamin C powder will help to neutralize chlorine in the water, maybe in your body as well. Warm castings (warm poop) are also very important when making compost tea. you can buy or make your own compost to ad to the tea. Fish fertilizer, and kelp or seaweed fertilizer are also needed. Alfalfa and bat poop will help also.

There are two basic types of compost teas that I know of. Brewed and Steeped. Steeped is the easy way, brewed is a little more complicated and just a tad bit more effective. Brewed, you have to ad like sugar, molasses or another natural sugar source; then aerate it for 24hrs.

What other types of compost teas are there?

• Plant tea: Instead of soaking compost, a plant that has nutritious properties is soaked in water to extract those nutrients. The most common plants used are comfrey and nettle, which can add valuable nutrients like phosphorus and potassium to the soil.
• Manure tea: This is a very common fertilizer used by farmers, which is a mixture of various aged manures soaked in water. It’s not really the best home project as it becomes very stinky.
• Commercial microbial tea: Just add water! These instant tea mixes are usually designed to combat specific plant issues, but proponents of homemade compost tea believe that they do not have enough microbes to be worthwhile. However, they are technically much safer because they are free from bad bacteria.
• Compost leachate: There is a fine line between compost leachate and regular compost tea, because both require compost to sit in water. However, leachate is created when water leaches through vermicompost (worm compost) or your compost bin and out the bottom. Because it’s not fermented, it is considered to be only valuable for the nutrients it contains, rather than the living microbes. The Green Cone, a solar waste digester, is one such composter effective at creating nutrient-rich leachate for surrounding plants.
