Re: [compost_tea] Tea Brewer



Growman wants to know about home made machines and if the Soilsoup machine compares to the John Evan's Alaska Bounty.
 
The vaunted SoilSoup machine has not tested well and does not produce fungi. If you only want a bacterial tea, then it might be o.k.  John Evan's Alaska Bounty produces both bacteria and fungi.  There is no comparison between the two. Neither make the quantities you seek.
 
As for a homemade machine of 30 gallons, you can use a 1/3 horse power air pump and for the bubbles, three or four feet of 1/4 inch soaker hose taped to the bottom. That will give you plenty of O2 and plenty of roiling of the water!  Make sure to clean the soaker hose every third or forth brew with a good cleanser that can remove bioslime.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Cheers,

Jeff
