The term “compost tea” has been broadly applied to the solution you obtain by steeping or extracting beneficial microbiology from compost into water. This concept has progressed through scientific study to where we are now adding microbial foods and air to this solution to cultivate the microbial population in an aerobic liquid environment. To avoid confusion with various other compost tea methods, BioLogic Systems has adopted the terms “Compost Extract” and “Active Aerobic Compost Extract (AACE)” to describe the specific processes we recommend. Compost Extract is made by releasing the clinging microorganisms and nutrients from high-quality compost into a container filled with water, and then adding microbial and plant foods. The result is a biologically active liquid nutrient that can be applied to the root zone of any plant. Making compost extract is a very easy and efficient process; a batch of compost extract can be
