Ganna Walska Lotusland is a leading private 
garden in Montecito, that uses all organic 
methods to maintain healthy plants and deal with 
pests. Most of the plant residue is composted and 
some of the compost is brewed into compost tea. 
These are the basic tools used to improve the 
health of plants on this unique 37-acre estate 
and botanic garden. With healthy plants, pest and 
disease control is much easier.

Compost Tea is a brewed product where microbes 
and nutrients are extracted from compost in an 
aerated water tank. The tea has wonderful 
qualities of bringing life to damaged plantscapes 
­ improving plant growth, decreasing disease and 
reducing insect pests. Compost tea is sprayed on 
the leaves of plants for leaf diseases and insect 
pests or it is drenched into the soil for root problems.

The Ventura Organic Garden Club just formed and 
plans a full schedule of talks, workshops, garden 
tours, and shared advice on growing plants with 
natural methods. Join us and help green up Ventura.
