Does compost tea pollute lake water?
It all depends on how you make it. If your making compost tea from YOUR OWN compost and maybe some small additives like Mollasses then no it will not. However once you start introducing other composts like Bat droppings or sea kelp then your going to be adding non-local minerals and bacteria that can be potentially harmful. Play it safe and use 1-2lbs of your own finished compost in a 5 gallon or so pail of non-chlorinated water (do not use city water) and aerate the mix for a minimum of 24 hours. You can either use full strenght but it may burn some more sensitive plants (cucumbers for example) so for those you can dilute it 50/50 compost tea to water. Enjoy!
