What Is Compost Tea?

Compost tea is a liquid infusion of beneficial microorganisms brewed from high-quality compost.

Instead of feeding the grass directly, compost tea feeds the soil biology. It is the living system that makes nutrients available to roots naturally.

Why it matters in North Texas

  • Clay soils compact easily
  • Heat stresses turf for long periods
  • Water and nutrients don’t always reach roots efficiently

What compost tea supports

  • Stronger root systems
  • Better moisture retention
  • Improved nutrient cycling
  • Increased resistance to heat and stress

What it is not

  • Not a chemical fertilizer
  • Not a growth stimulant
  • Not an instant fix

Compost tea works gradually, building soil health so your landscape can thrive season after season.

Best used as part of a consistent, soil-first care plan.
