Compost tea is a good “perk” for your plants. It’s simple to make and easy to use.
Fill a cloth bag with compost and put it in a barrel or bucket of water. Your mixture should be about one part compost to five parts water. Let it steep for about a week, swirling it around a few times and making sure that the “tea bag” is submerged.

You can then pour the “tea” over your plants. Put the compost in the bag either back into your backyard composter or spread it in the garden.
