I have compost pile that is probably in excess of 5 cubic yards. I've had this pile for 4 years and keep adding to it because I have huge amounts of leaves and grass clippings as well as other stuff. It is not broken down enough to where I wanted to add it to the soil this spring. I added to it last about 9 months ago and turn it with the tractor now and then. I put some of this compost in a 55 gallon plastic barrel and added water. I stir it often and have been watering my young plants with it some . They seem to like it, but I'm wondering if there is anything I need to know about using this tea. Is it necessary to add molasses? Is there any potential problem. The barrel is out in the sun and I covered it after I saw a but of green algae looking stuff. Do I have to aerate it etc. The more I read, it seems the more conflicting answers I get. I don't want to do damage to my plants. Did I mention that they are planted in the ground. Thanks, Ken in Oregon
