One-third compost to two-thirds water is the procedure for making compost tea. The mixture in question must be stirred while steeping three or four days and before straining through such porous fabric as burlap or cheesecloth. The residue serves as soil amendment, fertilizer or mulch while the tea can be poured or sprayed onto plants.

Can you put Tea bags in compost?
It is not necessarily a good idea to put tea bags directly in the compost. The tea leaves on the inside of the tea bag are fully compostable, but in general, the bags themselves may not be. Some tea companies use nylon tea bags, and even when the bags are made of paper, they can contain sealants made of plastic, which will not break down fully. Check that your tea bags are marked as 100% biodegradable before adding them to compost; otherwise, break open the tea bags, put the inside in the compost, and the tea bag itself in the trash. And consider buying loose-leaf tea: it is always 100% compostable.

Does using tea in plant soil help them grow?
Soil pH can be acidic, neutral, or alkaline. Caffeinated tea is low acidic. Ginger tea is less alkaline than green tea, and herbal teas are the most alkaline. Adding tea grounds to soil does not significantly change pH. Neither does adding a tea drink. However, the latter does add moisture to soil. What helps plant and soil health is compost. Tea bags, grounds and leaves break down quickly, in compost piles. Using the finished compost as mulch, fertilizer, or compost tea improves soil and therefore plant health. For example, there has been research to show that coffee grounds and tea leaves within compost may help make iron more available to radish roots.

Compost tea has two main purposes. One is to prevent foliar fungal diseases from attacking the leaves of plants. The second is to fertilise plants. Because it involves adding water to the compost, it makes the fertiliser go further, and it can be sprayed onto the plant.
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!
What gives compost its smell?
Air, nutrients and water with procedures followed properly and excess oxygen and sodden greens with procedures gone awry describe what gives compost its smell. Compost is dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter. It therefore smells of the outdoors when proper materials are composted according to proper methods and with proper inputs.
