Most commercially prepared compost teas can be diluted by as much as ten times.
You can use it as a soil drench for fertilizer or to improve soil conditions or
as a foliar spray to address fungal problems and other disease issues. If you
are using it specifically for disease control, it is recommended that you reduce
the initial dilution to 2 or 3 and use weekly during the growing season. For
optimum results, it should be used as soon as possible after it is decanted from
the brewer, but certainly within 10-12 hours.

Good advise Pam, I think it would be more practical to think in
terms of oz per 1000sq ft for home use. I stand with 64oz/1000 of
concentrate with howevr much water is needed.

Ideas?
