We offer a very active and very fresh compost tea.  We brew bi-weekly and schedule pickups here at Kindred Acres in Clayton NC.  

Our compost tea is a natural, fertilizer.  It is made using a 2 part system.  First we ferment our specially formulated solution.  Then we add  fungi inoculants to the mix.  Next we add macro-arthropod castings, chitin, and vermicast..  This tea is brewed using a commercial grade bubbler system and checked regularly under a biological microscope for activity.  It is a super concentrated blend so it needs to be diulted down then applied to your garden as a root drench or as a foliar spray.  

An 8 oz jar makes 24 gallons for general use.  or 8 gallons for super strength to be used when mitigating a problem or inoculating a new garden.  The calculations are 2 teaspoons per gallon for general use or 2-4 tbsp per gallon for super strength.  

Use as a foliar spray and root drench.  

The best time to apply is right before or after a heavy rain or watering. 

It's super easy to use too!!  Simply get a 5 gal bucket of water (non chlorinated) and add the concentrate, mix it, and pour it around the base of your plants or into a sprayer to use as a foliar spray. 

If you are combatting an issue like a disease or fugus, or if you are just starting a new garden bed you can add as much as 20 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket. You would apply every 2 weeks for combating an issue until you see changes, then go to general use.

This brew is best used fresh (within 2 to 4 days of purchase) so we sell them in small jars.  The cost is $10 per jar but you get $1 off for each clean jar with lid returned so when you come back for more, bring your used jar back to take advantage of the discount.  

Contact us to schedule a pickup!!!

We offer a selection of garden seeds, live bare-root plants, dried, herbs, soaps, freshly peeled luffa, and other homestead goodies and crafts!  

This is what just a few of our customers have to say!!

RHONDA on Jan 2, 20215 out of 5 stars    Wonderful plants with an enormous amount of roots plus she sent extra! These are in great shape, some even with blooms.  

beadream3 on Dec 22, 20205 out of 5 stars    I am a beginner gardener and decided to try to grow strawberries. After much research, I decided on bare root strawberries. My order was shipped promptly, but due to the current state of our world, I received my package a few days after it was expected. Upon opening the package, I was pleased to find the bare roots still fresh, damp, and separated. The roots were not tangled together. I planted them the following morning and within a few days, I started to see signs of new growth. I contacted Bren a few times with questions. Each time, she responded quickly and offered advice and encouragement! I will definitely buy from her Etsy shop again!  

Lauren on May 29, 20205 out of 5 stars    This was such a wonderful buy. I wish I had done it years ago. I tried making my own starters twice and used a recipe in America’s Test Kitchen that takes 30 hours to make one load. This starter and recipe were a million times better. I am so impressed. Also great customer service
