SoilSoup - Compost Tea Kit & Supplies

Soil Soup Compost Tea. The 6.5 gallon home brewing kit is ideal for the home gardener with a limited garden area or container garden. The kit comes complete with all components necessary to brew 10 batches (65 gallons in total).

The correct description of SoilSoup is Actively Aerated Compost Tea. Please note that an aerated compost tea should not be compared to a non-aerated compost tea. A non-aerated compost tea does indeed provide some plant nutrients to the roots, but does not include many beneficial soil microorganisms which were originally part of the solid compost. The beneficial microbes in a healthy compost pile are aerobic, which mean they require oxygen to stay alive. An actively aerated compost tea is far more valuable than a non-aerated tea because it provides both nutrients and an abundance of beneficial soil microorganisms. The microbial population increase approx. 100,000 times during the brewing process.

SoilSoup is the most effective product to use when you are enhancing or re-building your soil structure. It is 100% organic, non-toxic and safe to use. And, the microbes in SoilSoup are metabolically active, which means they are awake. The concentration and diversity of microbes are the main reasons for the quick and noticeable results you will see after just a few applications.

Healthy, undamaged soil is naturally full of beneficial microorganisms. However, continuous use of synthetic fertilizers, and pesticides will eventually result in virtually sterile soil. Beneficial soil microbes will not co-exist in a synthetic soil environment for very long.

Organic nutrients, in its raw form, are not available to plant roots for absorption.
Beneficial soil microbes are needed in the soil in order to provide the necessary nutrients to the plants.
Nutrients from microbial digestion remains in the soil until the plant is ready to utilize the nutrients. Synthetic fertilizers will wash away!
The soil microbes feed on each other, and convert organic nutrients for the plants. The plants in turn feed the microbes by giving off carbon materials for the microbes. It's the longest living ecosystem on earth!
Soil microbes will enhance a plants natural disease resistance and protect the soil environment against harmful pathogens. The plants start to look healthier, because they are healthier, from the roots up!
Improved soil structure. "After a season of SoilSoup, the clay dirt started to look like real soil"!
Improved water retention (reported up to 33% less water is needed). Water is becoming a scarce and expensive resource!
Reduces the amount of fertilizer needed.
Bigger yields and better tasting fruits and vegetables. (Ohio State University Study)
Very positive results reported in preventing and treating fungal diseases. (Mildew problem)

Ohio State University is recognized as having one of the premier agriculture programs in the U. S. (ranked #1 nationally by Community College Week and top ten by U.S. News).

A research team at the O.S.U. Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center studied the effects of applying SoilSoup to winter squash (cucurbita maxima) during the summer of 2004. Research on uncovered plots demonstrated that whereas a control plot produced a marketable yield of 1.5 tons per acre, the plots treated with SoilSoup full-strength produced 2.1 tons per acre.

SoilSoup also produced a higher percentage of marketable fruit. Even at a 1/3 concentration, SoilSoup produced 63.3% marketable fruit versus 42.1% for the control plot. In the covered plot tests, SoilSoup also outperformed every other biological product that was tested.

What is SoilSoup

The numerous benefits from beneficial soil microbes are well documented on the web. Just search for "aerated compost tea"

and click away. In short, soil biologists and garden writers all agree that:

There are 3 components necessary to brew a high quality aerated compost tea:

An organic inoculant, an organic nutrient solution and an aeration system that agitates and saturate the solution with oxygen.

Our inoculant is a mix of organic earthworm castings and wood based humus. It is produced at a WSDA certified organic farm and is guaranteed to be free of pathogens such as ecoli and salmonella. In short, the best earthworm castings we can find.

Our nutrient solution is a blend of all organic materials designed to grow the maximum population of soil microbes. To insure freshness the nutrient solution is pasteurized before bottling.

Both our aeration systems produces an abundance of small oxygen bubbles and agitation. Small air bubbles and agitaion are the keys to brewing a potent aerobic compost tea. The dissolved oxygen level in all our brewers exceedes 100% saturation.

SoilSoup has been tested many times over the last 10 years. In short, the testing results continuously show a very healthy aerobic compost tea rated high in diversity and aerobic microbes. In average, the microbial polulation multiply by 100,000 times during the brewing process. And, the ratio between aerobes vs. anearobes is in the 10/1 ratio, which is considered well above the desired range.
