Healthy Soil, Healthier Vines: Inside Our Compost Tea Trial
At MAWBY and bigLITTLE, we believe better wine starts in the vineyard. More specifically, it starts in the soil.
Last year, our team began a compost tea vineyard trial in a quarter-acre Pinot Noir block at our Elm Valley estate. We wanted to learn whether compost tea for grapevines could help support soil health, strengthen the microbial life around the vines, and reduce pressure from powdery mildew during the growing season. The trial gave us useful results, a few clear lessons, and a better plan for this year.
