cricket cricket Gardener Registered: 04/03/08 Posts: 364 Loc: Texas	I put some compost in a 10 gallon bucket yesterday to haul out to where I was putting in some okra. I accidentally left it the bucket out in the rain. Now my bucket is half full of compost and up to the top with rain water. I read once about compost tea. I believe it said you have to leave the water in it for a couple of days??? I don't generate enough compost to waste any. what should I do now? _________________________ Cricket
