Do you know what "tea" is? It's a method of taking already harvested MATERIAL and putting it into a bag and letting it steep, then using the solution on your garden. You DO not need anything else, don't need to add anything else or provide a "food supply" for the tea. The way it is shown here is standard compost tea making practice. So by your reasoning, this should kill anyone's garden who uses this method? The vast evidence out there makes your argument invalid. Let's see your garden!

This is the most simple method to use for brewing compost tea. There are many methods and brewers out there. You can get as complicated as you like...only limited by how much time you want to spend researching!
