100% of the goodness does not leach out in this process, there are still nutrients bound up in the compost. There are also lots of microbes which are beneficial to soil. Finally, humus is good for improving soil texture even if it has no nutrients left in it. So definitely use that compost somewhere.

What books has the author of the compost tea article written? I'm new to the forum and am having trouble contacting him.

Friendofroses.... I don't know who that is. Sorry.
