Compost tea can be used to nourish the soil food web and benefit soil microorganisms. The soil food web includes bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, and arthropods that play important roles in soil health. Actively aerated compost tea is produced by introducing oxygen and food to compost over 24 hours, multiplying beneficial microbes. It contains billions of microbes per teaspoon and can be applied to soil and foliage to inoculate the rhizosphere and phyllosphere with beneficial organisms that compete with pathogens. Proper brewing and application of compost tea can help balance the soil food web.

Compost Tea Production, Application, and Benefits
This document discusses compost tea, including what it is, how it is produced, and its potential benefits for crops. It provides information on both passive compost tea and aerated compost tea. Passive compost tea involves steeping compost in water for several weeks, while aerated tea uses mechanical aeration to maintain oxygen levels during the shorter 24-hour brewing process. The document suggests that compost tea can fertilize crops, improve soil nutrient cycling and microorganism activity, aid in crop residue decomposition, and possibly help suppress some plant pathogens, though more research is still needed on disease control. It provides guidance on deciding between passive or aerated tea production and getting started, including any necessary equipment.
Notes on Compost Teas
This document provides supplemental information on compost teas. It distinguishes compost teas from other organic extracts such as compost leachates and compost extracts. Compost teas are actively brewed with microbial food and catalyst sources to extract and grow beneficial microbes from compost over 24-36 hours, while extracts simply soak compost in water. Methods of producing compost tea range from passive fermentation to continuous-flow systems using pumps, pipes, and tanks. Standards for analyzing microbial content of compost teas and lists of labs that perform such analysis are also included.
Compost Tea
Compost tea is a liquid made by steeping compost in aerated water to extract and grow beneficial microbes. It inoculates soils and increases plant vitality. The water must be aerated to remove chlorine and prevent pathogens, while a mesh screen allows water to mix with compost without large particles. For example, one pound of compost in five gallons of water brewed for 24 hours makes compost tea, which should be used immediately and can be applied as a spray or soil drench.
Soil food web
1. After a disturbance, photosynthetic and decomposer bacteria establish and produce sugars.
2. Decomposer bacteria feed on the sugars and release waste, fueling more photosynthetic and decomposer bacteria.
3. As bacteria biomass grows, protozoa, nematodes, and fungi arrive, increasing diversity, complexity and mineralization while smoothing nutrient pulses.
Compost
Compost is a good organic fertilizer that is used in agriculture, gardening, and landscaping. It is produced through controlled heating (hot compost) or natural room temperature (cold compost) decomposition of organic wastes by bacteria, fungi, earthworms, and other organisms. Compost has several benefits including increasing soil water retention, improving soil ventilation, reducing erosion, and expanding plant growth by providing nutrients. The students at Arcipreste de Canales Highschool collect food and garden waste to create compost heaps or bins on their school grounds.
Dr. Elaine Ingham - Soil, It's All About Life
1) The document discusses soil microbiologist Elaine Ingham's background and work establishing the importance of soil biology and nutrient cycling performed by beneficial soil organisms.
2) It outlines the key functions of a healthy soil food web in suppressing disease, retaining nutrients, making nutrients available to plants, and building soil structure.
3) Examples are given showing improved yields, increased clover content, reduced nematodes, and higher mineral levels in the soil and herbage when using compost teas compared to chemical fertilizers.
Sol biology and_som
Soil organic matter (SOM) improves soil properties in several ways. It increases the soil's ability to store and supply nutrients, buffers pH changes, and reduces toxicity. SOM also supports soil biology by providing food for microbes and enhancing their activity, nutrient cycling, and plant growth. SOM is derived from plant and animal residues and microbial biomass. It decomposes over time through the actions of soil organisms like earthworms, fungi, bacteria, and protists. Factors like soil texture, temperature, and the quality and quantity of organic inputs influence the decomposition rate.
Nocturnal plants
The document discusses nocturnal plants that bloom at night and their adaptations for blooming in low light or darkness. It describes how plant volatiles can affect caterpillar behavior and allow them to sense their environment. Nocturnal plants still require proper growing conditions like sunlight during the day to build energy for blooms at night. An experiment showed that a plant receiving sunlight grew healthily while one in darkness became limp and unhealthy without the ability to photosynthesize.

Educational Handout 1
Soilless farming techniques like hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics allow plants to grow without soil by supplying nutrients through water. Hydroponics suspends plant roots in nutrient-enriched water or growing material like rockwool. Aeroponics suspends roots in air and mists them with nutrient solution. Aquaponics uses fish waste to provide nutrients to plants, filtering the water for the fish. Soilless methods provide optimum nutrition while reducing water and labor needs compared to traditional gardening.
Starting a Worm Farm
1. Earthworms are beneficial for soil and composting as they break down organic matter, aerate the soil, and produce nutrient-rich castings. Starting a worm farm or vermicomposting bin provides a way to utilize food scraps and bedding materials while the worms break them down into a fertilizer.
2. Proper care of a worm farm or vermicompost bin involves maintaining moisture levels that are damp but not wet, providing a dark environment, and regularly feeding the worms kitchen scraps and other organic materials while harvesting the finished compost.
3. Red worms are best for composting as they can process large amounts of food waste and tolerate a variety of conditions
Hydroponics
The document discusses hydroponics and compares it to traditional soil cultivation. Hydroponics uses a water and nutrient solution instead of soil, allowing for greater control over water and nutrients. It requires electricity to power pumps and lighting but uses fewer pesticides and fertilizers. While more costly to set up initially, hydroponics improves product quality and lowers costs. It also recycles water and produces higher yields. However, hydroponics currently only accounts for about 7% of Greek cultivations despite being more modern and ecological. The document then provides details on different hydroponic systems, equipment, costs, and benefits.

Certain plants assist each other in growth and deterring pests when planted together. This is known as companion planting. According to Cornell University, plants compete for space and resources but also change the soil chemistry and repel insects or diseases that affect neighboring plants. Some effective companion planting combinations include dill and nasturtiums with squash and cucumbers to repel bugs, and radishes planted with cucumbers to deter cucumber beetles without needing to be pulled. Garlic spray can also be used to control many insect pests when made from chopped garlic soaked in oil and water.
The Wonder of Vermiculture
The practice of vermiculture or vermicomposting involves different worm species to turn kitchen food scraps into nutritious soil amendments or growth media for plants. Vermiculture can also be applied to treating sewage sludge. The process involves removing organic matter, pathogens and oxygen demands from wastewater, or directly from blackwater.
Vermicomposting
Vermicomposting is a process that uses worms, like red wigglers, to break down organic materials into a nutrient-rich humus known as castings or vermicompost. The document discusses the vermicomposting process, the types of worms used like red wigglers, how to care for the worms, and the benefits of the nutrient-dense vermicompost produced, which includes increasing soil fertility and plant growth when used in gardens or with potted plants. Vermicompost also contains higher concentrations of nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compared to regular soil or compost.

Organic lawn care revolution
Organic lawn care using compost tea instead of chemical pesticides and fertilizers is becoming increasingly popular due to health and environmental concerns. Compost tea contains beneficial microorganisms that are extracted from compost in water and multiplied, building soil structure and improving plant nutrition in a natural way. Lawns maintained organically with compost tea need less mowing and watering, crowd out weeds, and are more resistant to pests, resulting in savings for homeowners and a safe environment for families and pets.
Composting & Soil Health sting.pptx
Soil health is defined as the capacity of soil to function as a living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals and humans. Good soil health is characterized by nutrient supply, water infiltration and retention, gas exchange, biodiversity and sustainability. Composting and adding organic matter improves soil structure, increases nutrients and beneficial microbes. Vermicomposting uses worms to convert organic wastes into nutrient-rich humus. Vermicompost contains growth-promoting substances and beneficial microbes. Regular soil testing helps evaluate soil health indicators and guide management practices to maximize sustainability and profitability from the soil.
Organic and-biofertlizer
This document discusses using organic and biofertilization methods on soil. It provides calculations for the soil requirements for an acre of land and treatments needed. It then outlines the experimental design which involved planting crops like rocket and papaya in different basins with various treatments like compost, yeast, and a control. Observations showed the compost basin grew plants most healthily. Weights found the compost basin yielded the most at 676.83g while the control was 317.39g. The document also discusses the benefits of vermicompost and yeast on soil microbiology and plant growth.

Organic vegetable gardening
This document provides information from Theresa Lam of Lonicera Farm on organic vegetable gardening. It discusses selecting seeds and plants, garden design with companion planting and crop rotations. Theresa explains how her farm is USDA certified organic and promotes biodiversity and soil health through minimal off-farm inputs and management practices. The document then gives guidance on starting seeds indoors, preparing garden beds with compost and cover crops, and maintaining the soil food web and structure. Overall it provides a comprehensive overview of Theresa's organic techniques for seed starting, soil building, companion planting and pest management.
Biofertilizer vp
Biofertilizers are living microorganisms that enrich soil nutrients. They are made from biological wastes and do not contain chemicals, making them environmentally friendly. Common microbes used in biofertilizers include bacteria like Rhizobium that form nodules on legume roots to fix nitrogen, fungi like mycorrhizae that absorb phosphorus and provide it to plants, and cyanobacteria like Anabaena involved in the Azolla fern symbiosis that adds fixed nitrogen and organic matter to rice field soil. Biofertilizers restore depleted soil nutrients and improve soil fertility at a lower cost than chemical fertilizers.
