MEND (CFB)

A comprehensive food formula to ensure rapid and ongoing multiplication of beneficial microbes during brewing.

One key to successful compost tea brewing is the supply of a food source capable of feeding and fostering thousands of different microbe species.

  • It is user-friendly and convenient.

Sandra Kirk from Childers produced this disease-free tomato crop using the MEND compost tea system. No problems here, even after seven days of rain.
