As a community we can make a difference in improving the quality of life within our native ecosystems by supporting organic land stewardship practices. The benefits of organic land stewardship practices are infinite.
C ompost tea not only provides food for the plants and grasses, but it also creates a healthy ecosystem and stabilizes the soil, promotes microbial life, aeration, and efficient distribution of minerals and vitamins for the plants and soil microorganisms living underground.

When the underground ecosystem is vital and thriving, the wild lands, grasses and garden plants grow to their full beauty and potential. Locally made compost tea is a liquid fertilizer made from finished garden compost, worm castings, molassas, and seaweed and brewed for 12 - 48 hours. Compost tea is packed full of microbes that help the native and desired plants grow. Ultimately we encourage land stability with our practices while increasing the overall health and fertility of the land. We apply soil amendments including a locally made weed remedy (a biodynamic recipe made from weed seed and/or root ash and water) to minimizing the pioneer species from grow prolifically and encourage next succession species diversity to take hold and balance the ecosystem. We remove weeds by manually harvesting them, seeding the area with native grasses and beneficial wild flowers, amending the soil with organic compost tea, mulch and compost top dressing and inoculating the soil with mycelium and beneficial microorganisms. Bee Happy Lands, a project of Turtle Lake Refuge, provides organic integrated land management within Southwestern Colorado. Our focus is on creating stabilized, fertile and healthy soil.
