Compost Tea Recipe(s) and Usage

[EarlyBird]

Hi all,

My young plants are very robust so far, with thick main stems and branches, luxurious foliage, growing very stout and wide. They seem to be thriving.

I've got a couple of 5 gallon buckets of good compost made of kitchen scraps (veggie peels, egg shells, coffee grounds, onion skin, etc.) and wanted to make a compost tea of it to feed the plants once every couple of weeks.

But I want to make sure I understand the right recipe for compost tea so that I give the plants what they need during this early foliage/root development stage, vs. the blooming/fruiting stage. I know you want to cut down on the nitrogen in the latter stage.

Any proven home made compost tea methods? Also, how often should I use it?

Thank you!

Yours in tomatoes,
