Wondering about the hype behind manure/compost teas. Having used

effort.

Anybody with a comment?

I never understood why people make compost teas. why not just put the
compost around the ground? it seems like a lot of work to make the
teas which seem to me like trying to force the compost/manure to
release nutrients faster (dissolve in water, adding bacteria and
increasing o2 flow) , when plants generally like slow release
fertilizers.
