Sounds appetizing, doesn't it? 
As unappealing as it may sound to the gardener, plants LOVE it and will thank you for a frequent drink or shower of it.
Here is a "recipe" for making Compost Tea. I got the directions from the book Herbs for Texas by Howard Garrett:
Fill a 5 to 15 gallon plastic bucket 1/2 full of manure-based compost; then fill it up the rest of the way with water. Let the mixture sit for 10 to 14 days. Strain out the solids with old pantyhose or cheesecloth.
Dilute the mixture until it looks like iced tea; or about 1 part compost liquid to 10 parts water.
Spray the diluted mixture on the foliage of plants to control pests. I also water mine with this every couple of weeks during the growing season.
Blessings,
