It requires no prep work&mdash;just sprinkle it over your lawn and garden beds using a standard watering can and then water it in until your soil is thoroughly moistened.<\/p>\n<p>Microbe Brew is great for all types of plants, including lawns, gardens, flower beds, trees, shrubs, and houseplants! Microbe Brew can help you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Save water by increasing your soil&#8217;s moisture retention,<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Grow hardier, pest-resistant plants that better withstand heat stress, and<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Replenish depleted or pesticide-treated soil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Microbe Brew is a seasonal product and is available April through October, at the Eco-Cycle CHaRM.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>What does it do?<\/h2>\n<p>Many soils, especially in Colorado, have very low levels of microbial activity due to pesticide and fungicide use, or due to depletion through harvesting, lawn clipping removal, or neglect. <a href=\"https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/resources\/video-how-to-apply-microbe-brew\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Applying Microbe Brew<\/a> immediately boosts soil microbe populations, which go to work digesting organic matter and minerals and turning them into forms that can be readily absorbed by plant roots, stimulating growth.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12878 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Microbe-Brew-Trial-Basil-792x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"517\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Microbe-Brew-Trial-Basil-792x1024.png 792w, https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Microbe-Brew-Trial-Basil-232x300.png 232w, https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Microbe-Brew-Trial-Basil-768x993.png 768w, https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Microbe-Brew-Trial-Basil.png 942w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 400\/517;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How is it made?<\/h2>\n<p>We start with worm composting, a system that converts food waste and other organic material into a useful soil amendment with the help of Redworms (<em>Eisenia fetida<\/em>). As organic material passes through the gut of the worm, it is converted to castings&mdash;stable little balls of nutrients readily available for uptake by plant roots. The castings are then brewed in highly oxygenated water under conditions that are optimal for the beneficial microorganisms present in the castings to reproduce rapidly. When finished, Microbe Brew tea is a liquid teeming with living microbes and beneficial plant-growth compounds.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3091 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/CHILD-ASSETS_Microbe-Brew-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"344\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/CHILD-ASSETS_Microbe-Brew-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/CHILD-ASSETS_Microbe-Brew-1-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/CHILD-ASSETS_Microbe-Brew-1-182x125.jpg 182w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/344;\" \/><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Pictured: Eco-Cycle&#8217;s first Compost Director, Dan Matsch, feeding the worms.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>When and how should it be applied?<\/h2>\n<p>Microbe Brew should be applied to <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lawns, gardens, flower beds, trees, shrubs, and houseplants<\/span>&nbsp;the same day you purchase it, because the tea will become less oxygenated over time, causing a reduction of active microbes.<\/p>\n<p>The tea should be applied season-long and is especially effective:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>in the spring<\/strong> when your soil is just waking from the winter,<\/li>\n<li>during the <strong>vigorous vegetative growth stage,<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>during the <strong>flowering\/fruiting stage and in times of stress<\/strong>, such as hot spells or after mowing the lawn, and<\/li>\n<li><strong>in the fall<\/strong>, applied along with compost to prepare for next spring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ideal frequency and rate of application will vary according to the condition of your soil.

When buried in a landfill, organic material causes groundwater contamination and contributes to global warming through the generation of methane. In contrast, when composted, food scraps and other organics become a valuable soil amendment that can rejuvenate depleted local soils.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&rsquo;s why Eco-Cycle has a commercial organic waste collection program for businesses and institutions in the Boulder County area, serving University of Colorado cafeterias, Whole Foods Market, the Boulder Farmers Market, and Avery Brewing Co., to name a few. Most of the organic material we collect is currently going to a regional composter. Some of the cleanest organic materials we collect are delivered straight to local regenerative farms for on-site composting and application through our Farmer First model. Eco-Cycle actively advocates for a local compost facility, accompanied by a distributed network of on-farm composting, so that we can make compost products that can be used right here on our local soils.<\/span><\/p> \n\n                <\/section>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    \n\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"related-resources-sec   \" style=\"margin-top:0px;
