liquid amendments
Micro-organisms are extracted from our biologically complete compost into water. Extracts can then be delivered into the root of your plant by drip feed, soil injection, or watered in using a watering can. The extracts are also used for seed coating.
​
From my own experience this gives the plant some protection and enhances root growth. Teas on the other hand are made from compost extracts and used as a foliar spray which protects the external part of the plant. The Extracts are grown in a brewer with aeration and foods added.
​
Bacteria, produce glues and fungi produce rope like hypha, so when they are sprayed onto the foliage they tend to stick on because they are growing. This is how they can protect the surfaces of your plant from pests and diseases.
