Sledd Nursery – an Austin original for nearly 27 years – has introduced another Austin original: Live Tea. This totally organic and sustainable compost tea is a blend of ingredients aerobically brewed to provide nourishment for all kinds of green, living things – Sledd's roses thrive on them. We can't even begin to list the ingredients ... OK, we'll try: seaweed extract, horticultural molasses, fish emulsion, and something charming called "montmorillonite." Not your average cup of tea, and probably not very tasty unless you're a shrub. Which we're not, but we are a fan ... along with roses, azaleas, camellias, etc. Pass the sugar, please.
