But this is just a scary story when now is really one of the most important times to care for your lawn, trees, shrubs, and perennial flowers. Don\u2019t miss your chance to apply Eco-Cycle\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/our-programs\/composting-and-carbon-farming\/microbe-brew-compost-tea\/\">Microbe Brew Compost Tea<\/a>\u2014a powerful, natural way to strengthen your plants before they enter dormancy, and make a real difference in the health and vigor of your landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why to Apply During Spooky Season&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the fall, your plants are undergoing a transformation. The energy they stored during summer\u2019s peak sunlight is no longer being used for leaf production or flowering. Instead, it&#8217;s being transferred into the roots. <strong>This is the time of year when your plants focus on building strong root systems, which are essential for surviving the winter<\/strong>, allowing them to reanimate and rise again when spring returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Compost tea contains a rich community of beneficial soil microbes that work in harmony with your plants. <\/strong>These microorganisms form a coven with root hairs, helping to extend their reach and increase nutrient absorption. It\u2019s a natural way to help your plants recover from any hexes they endured during the growing season and turn them undead for the cold months ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For even more magical results, consider adding a layer of compost over your garden beds before applying Microbe Brew. This biologically rich shroud allows microbes to thrive and plants to absorb the maximum benefit.
