				Compost tea...

				Anyone got any sound advice based on experience in making a nice and tasty compost tea? Have read that you need molasses some places - which seems pricey - and aeration, but is it needed? 
Cheers
Matt

				I've not heard of any of those necessities for compost tea.  From what I've learned, it can be as simple as water run-off from your bin (if it is an enclosed bin with holes on the bottom) or water that purposefully had compost soaked in it.
I find the excess water that sometimes gather from my vermicomposter is good for this.
Of course, what is in the compost itself would affect/improve the compost tea.
