Haven’s Natural Brew Tea – Manure Tea For Your Garden

15 July 2010 2 Comments

By Audrey van Petegem, Senior Editor

Annie Haven realized that there was an interest in her horse and cow manure from local vegetable farmers and hobby gardeners. As we all know, Gardening 101 teaches us that the best fertilizers for the garden is manure. Haven’s manure became so popular is because all their livestock are fed natural grass, free of antibiotics, growth hormones and pesticides.

So, Annie came up with the idea of creating a new, easy, less smelly, less messy way of spreading manure: her unique Manure Tea Bags (NOT for drinking) which use the manure from her livestock (even the most strict organic gardener would have no problem using this product). No longer is there a need to cart manure home in a bag from your local garden center.

Simply fill a container, up to five gallons, with water and allow to sit for up to three days (specific brewing instructions are here). Water your plants with the tea, up to four times during a growing season. You will notice bigger, healthier plants and vegetables. The Alfalfa Natural Brew Tea is perfect for your roses. Combine with Epsom Salts, they will bloom beautifully. Continue using the Haven Brand Natural Alfalfa Tea Bag on your rosebushes throughout the year and it will help build a stronger root base.

All Haven Brand Natural Tea can be purchased at ahavenbrand.com for $12.95 for a 3 pack or $21.95 for a 9 pack.
