Mr. Mayor,
Is breakfast good for the kids? Is a good menu good for health? Compost tea if, made properly, will be become the most important item you add to your plants. We use it on a continuous basis and it does do the job. We use composted cow manure in water with molasses with aeration. The air helps the bacteria (the good stuff) thrive, the molasses adds sugar Which most chewing insects can't digest. Our tea increases the good bacteria into the soil which helps the plants gather the minerals we put in to increase growth. We do organic and it isn't as easy as throwing some synthetic stuff around but sure makes us feel good that we know what we are eating.
Also there are some growth hormones that will help but you will have to Google that and add that knowledge for your use.
Good growing.
