A brief introduction to the fifth edition of the practical guide.

The publication’s focus
The manual distinguishes compost tea from compost extract, leachate and other liquid organic preparations. [1]
The central message
It organizes preparation around compost quality, oxygen supply, mixing, time and organism assessment. [1]
Questions for practice
Before looking for a recipe, it helps to clarify which preparation we mean and the purpose of application. A working log can connect each batch with observations from the particular field.
