Can I use a compost tea drench on my transplants this year, instead of buying fish emulsion? If so, what is the procedure for making a good tea for them?

Compost tea is a great fertilizer for young seedlings! Patti did a video on making compost tea. Kim

Patti's video! I think it's the Organic Mechanic one.

Also, I do seaweed tea, too. One package of sea vegetables from the health food store, 5 gallon bucket, water, day or two in the sun to make the tea, and pour. Easy!
