I’ve spent many years hearing about and ignoring compost extract systems but now starting to change my views. This is Not a compost tea.

Have not used it myself but hopefully get one going this year

I’d use fulvic when using a herbicide and a humate when using fertiliser. Fulvic will distort cell walls but the humate has a symbiosis with the N
