Unless you make your own, you’re not going to find better.
Why is our the Best?
We’re glad you asked. It all begins with high-quality composting materials,
primarily horse manure, which makes up the majority of our blend. You’ll also
find a small amount of waste hay mixed in, along with a modest addition of
chicken manure—typically less than ten percent. We use these materials in a
large volume, our composting tanks are over a thousand gallons. We provide
just the right moisture, that of collected rain water. It is all sealed up.
Then we wait.
We let the sealed tank compost thoroughly for over ten months up to a year.
After all that time has passed we observe the volume and density of the
composted material. We then allow more rain water to finish filling the tank.
When the tank is filled, we once again let it set. A minimum of two months.
That is when the compost tea is finally ready to be collected. We move the
compost tea into another collector tank to wait for you to order. We try to only
bottle what will be shipped out within a couple of weeks to ensure that you get
the freshest compost tea you can get.

About Gardenersbud!
We got our start in composting way back in the early 2000s after buying a farm—because nothing says “welcome to farm life” like a growing pile
of… well, everything. At first, it was small-scale: a humble mix of waste bedding, manure from our animals, and whatever scraps we could spare
from the kitchen. Even then, we could see the magic happening. Our garden loved it.
Things really ramped up around 2005 when we started raising horses. Suddenly, our “little pile” turned into *MUCH* larger piles—with a whole lot
more manure in the mix. (Let’s just say we weren’t short on raw materials.)
Then in 2008, we had a brilliant—or possibly slightly questionable—idea: why not turn all that compost into fuel? We set out to build a methane
collector to heat our garage. This involved purchasing a 10-foot, 1,100-gallon tank and sealing up a massive batch of compost inside. What could
go wrong?
Well, at least it kind of worked. We managed to collect enough gas to produce flames, which felt like a victory. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite
enough to keep the garage toasty, so our dreams of compost-powered central heating were… a work in progress.
But here’s where things got really interesting. Once the methane production slowed down, we were left with an incredibly concentrated batch of
compost—and a whole lot of compost tea. We spread it in our garden and across parts of a small four-acre wheat plot we had planted.
And wow—was it obvious.
Wherever we applied that compost, the wheat shot up about a foot taller. The difference was so dramatic that the untreated areas looked
downright depressed in comparison. It was like before-and-after photos you didn’t even need to label.
From there, we kept experimenting—tweaking our composting methods and continuing our methane adventures for several more years. Along
the way, we started sharing our compost and compost tea with family and neighbors.
Then, somewhere around 2015, it finally hit us: people might actually *pay* for this stuff.
So in February 2016, we took the leap and signed up for an Amazon Seller account—and the rest is history.
