At the recent SEMAP Ag & Food Conference I had the pleasure of catching Carl Brodeur of Arborcare present a workshop on Actively Aerated Compost Tea (AACT).  Carl did a great job presenting some of the basics and keys to utilizing compost tea.  Below are a few of the resources his highlighted in his presentation as well as additional links which may be of interest.
