Gardens Love Manure Tea

Gardens Love Haven Brand Moo Poo Tea

Authentic Haven Brand natural soil conditioner teas are easy to brew and plants, like this blooming eggplant, love what the moo poo tea does to help them build healthy roots. (Photo credit: Lisa Gustavson, of getinthegarden.com, reprinted with permission.)

When I moved to the outskirts of Denver more than 10 years ago, I was delighted to see a boarding stable only a few miles away. I was looking forward to gathering aged horse apples and brewing my own manure tea to water plants in my garden.

I did brew a couple of batches in a plastic bucket. The plants certainly appreciated my efforts, but let’s just say the experience wasn’t as enjoyable as I hoped it would be.

Now every garden can have the benefit of an all-natural soil conditioner without the extra effort thanks to Annie Haven.

Annie is a rancher and entrepreneur in Southern California where she raises cattle and packages manure in over-sized tea bags. Green-minded gardeners from coast to coast–and such far-flung places as Spain and Singapore–order her all-natural products for their gardens.

Manure tea bags are steeped in a 1 to 5 gallon container for a few days and then diluted before using to water plants indoors and out.

Plants love the premium soil conditioner tea that Annie harvests from Haven raised, grass fed cattle. It’s then eco-packaged for distribution through her website at http://www.authentichavenbrand.com/

Annie is proud to say all of her livestock are free of hormone-added grains, antibiotics and pesticides. There are no additives, fillers or machinery used in her product. It goes right from moo to you. Now that’s organic gardening!

“I’m extremely pleased to see the growth within the garden industry,” Annie says. “People are returning to gardening and seeking healthy, natural ways to raise their gardens.”

Annie says she packages Authentic Haven Brand premium soil conditioners for garden growers because it’s easy to brew and easy to use. The tea improves the soil and helps build root systems so plants can better absorb the nutrients they need.

Customers brag about how well their houseplants, container plants, vegetable gardens, shrubs and lawns are growing with the help of Annie’s tea. They specifically mention improved leaf color and increases in both bloom and vegetable yields.

“Most of all, they seem pleasingly shocked that there really is no smell from the tea.”

Tea bags are reasonably priced and can be ordered by the individual bag, 3-pack, 9-pack or by the case through her website. Shipping is free when payment is made through PayPal.
When Annie isn’t busy caring for her cattle or packaging her tea, she relates her adventures to a growing following on Twitter@GreenSoil.

Manure Tea and Earth Day

How will you celebrate Earth Day?

by Rebecca Sweet, Gossip in the Garden


Earth Day is April 22, and I’ve been invited to participate in a blogging event hosted by Jan Huston Doble’s blog Thanks For 2 Day, where garden bloggers are writing about ways in which we’re making ‘greener gardens’.

I’ve decided to write about two of my very favorite organic garden products: Haven’s Authentic Brand Soil Conditioning Tea and John & Bob’s Soil Optimizer.

1) Haven’s Authentic Brand Soil Conditioning Tea


The first is one that I lovingly call Moo Poo Tea. It’s really called Haven’s Authentic Brand soil conditioning tea. But Moo Poo Tea is definitely more fun to say.

What is it? It’s the by-product of natural grass-fed cows raised free of antibiotics, growth hormones and pesticides. The rancher who created this product, Annie Haven, was kind enough to send me some samples which I said I’d gladly test for her.


When I opened the envelope, I was amazed at how darn cute these oversized tea bags were (yes, they’re intentionally oversized to avoid any possible mix-up with your regular Earl Grey tea bag! Ewwww….)

I must admit that due to it’s simplicity, I was a bit skeptical. It seemed simple enough to do – just brew a teabag in a 5-gallon bucket for several hours. Then over the course of about 3 days, use what you need directly on your houseplants or outside plants. There’s no smell whatsoever, and all you need to do is cover the bucket when you’re not using it.

I had been wanting to start some nasturtiums from seed, so I figured the timing was perfect! I split the seeds into 2 categories: 1 fertilized twice with the product, and 1 without any additional fertilizer.

This is the ‘before’ photo. Both sets of seedlings have been given only water, and both sets look the same. (click link below for full article and photos)

It’s now been about 10 days and I’ve given the batch on the right-hand side 2 doses of ‘tea’.

While the plants aren’t blooming yet, you can clearly see the difference in growth habits! One has thicker, lush growth on sturdier stems, while the other is lanky with sparse foliage.

This is a ‘test in progress’ as I only planted them in the ground about 3 weeks ago. I’ll keep you all up to date with the progress of my test batch, as I’m sure the results will be dramatic!

Click here to read some amazing history about Haven’s ranch – makes you proud to be using their tea bags, that’s for sure!

Manure Tea a Green Business

Manure tea bags get constant comment
Ron Dicker Mar 25th 2010 at 12:00PM

Walletpopper

Annie Haven's manure tea bags might appear steeped in novelty, but when it comes to brewing up business, the woman knows her you-know-what."I didn't just look at my cows and say I'm going to sell manure," Haven, a rancher in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., told WalletPop.

Just for clarification: You don't drink manure tea. You pour it in your soil so plants and flowers flourish.

She makes the teabags bigger so you won't confuse them with the potable kind. But you brew it in a jar like sun tea. Haven Authentic Brand tea bags have become a hit among ecology-minded home gardeners, with more than 3,000 disciples on Twitter, according to the Orange County Register. They're also generating constant comment for the packaging, even if Haven says that isn't what's driving consumers and retailers."I'm not really sure they're attracted to the gimmick of it," she said. "It's the ease of it.

"No stench. No hauling of the unedited stuff required. And plants receive a direct blast of nutrients at the roots, according to Haven. Pre-brewed won't work, she explained, because the vitamins dissolve too quickly. Haven said the goods emerge from grass-eating cattle that are drug- and hormone-free. She won't reveal her process for distilling the teabag-ready stuff, but assures that it's by "environmental design.

"The price ($12.95 for three teabags of cow or horse "soil conditioner") is positively Lipton-like when you realize that you can make five gallons per bag. That's a lot of watering, given that most of her customers tend to foliage in a small space, she told WalletPop. Since she began selling the teabags, she estimated that her income has increased by a third. Development of her once-rural surroundings shrank her livestock enterprise. Fewer farmers and growers required her services, so she developed a product that she could sell to the very people who now occupy the built-up spaces.

Therein lies Haven's lesson for small-business owners: Meet a need with the resources you have and the conditions you live in."I've grown the business as the business has demanded growth," she said. "Sales built the product, the product built the website.

"Haven's grandmother brewed manure tea, and a Canadian company tried packaging a brand of manure tea years ago but made the teabags so close to human-portion size that perhaps they over-exploited the gimmick of it, she explained. So far, the rancher has avoided critical missteps. Said Haven: "I know this baby from the ground up."

Soil, Roots, Seedlings & Plants

Authentic Haven Brand could not be more pleased with what's Growing on around the ranch.

Growing a Green business in a Brown economy is what woman rancher Annie Haven has been doing. Haven, introduced her 100% natural premium soil conditioner teas to the world of Container, Patio, Balcony and Home gardeners few years back and she has never looked back.

As our economy began to unravel on Main Street USA Haven had already been feeling the pains of short purse strings. Several years of below normal rain fall forced Haven to scale back her livestock herd in order to not over graze the land. Raising less livestock means less annual income. However; what the economic bad times have given her is a Niche Market of garden growers. And that leads us back to Haven's Eco friendly and environmentally Devin premium soil conditioner tea business.

Haven, who is so proud to be following in her father's ranching/farming footsteps has taken the by-product of Haven raised livestock supplied to large natural grower's since 1924 and repackaged it for the Container, Patio, Balcony and Home gardener. Authentic Haven Brand, premium soil conditioner teas are hand packaged in easy to Brew, Easy to Use Eco-friendly tea bags.

You "Brew it Fresh" Haven says, when you need to feed your plants. Haven is pleased to see her premium soil conditioner tea business being recognised in the Media. On February 28, 2010 the Orange County Register Business News featured Haven's premium soil conditioner tea business http://bit.ly/bDjI6R article by Jan Norman. Authentic Haven Brand was picked up on March 1, 2010 by National Press Radio http://bit.ly/ciATvj Haven has been interviewed for an up coming article in Inc. Magazine. Haven will also see her premium soil conditioner teas freatured some time later this Spring on the TV show Garden Wise with Arlena a nationally sidicated garden show out of WI follow Arlena (www.twitter.com/GardenBlessings).

The recognition most pleasing to Haven is coming from fellow gardeners across the country, Canada, Spain and Singapore that are tweeting pictures of their Green garden growing success with Haven who goes by @GreenSoil on twitter. Follow her www.twitter.com/GreenSoil

Wonderful gardeners are tweeting pictures to Haven daily. Some are promoting her and her line of garden premium soil conditioner teas on their blog pages and to Show's like the Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs" and Haven, who remains humbled by all the attention is enjoying it. It's heart felt to see people discover just how powerful Mother Nature can be in such a simple setting as an indoor or outdoor garden she says.

Times are tough, there is no doubt about it Haven says and it may be some time before the economy truly turns around. For now Haven is set on helping gardeners grow Green gardens naturally with her Authentic Haven Brand premium soil conditioner teas to naturally increase bloom and vegetable yield like so many of her clients are now doing.
