[compost_tea] Re: Filters



thank you and it is sure nice of you for taking the time and clearing 
this up for me.  .  this is great I have a well and i just inject the 
tea into the drip line.  Now with my drip line pluging fixed this is 
easy.  How sweet it is. Before i strained the tea i was getting 
pluged lines everytime I injected tea now  I strain the tea cleaning 
the sludge that forms as i strain, using that for a soak for sick 
trees and because the filters on the drip line is 200 holes per inch 
same as what i use to strain the tea  no more pluged lines when i put 
out tea.  this is sure a lazy  lazy way to get that soil life out 
there under the trees.  I feel guilty its so easy.  : >  I think the 
soil life is happy going out with a irragation .  that way it seem to 
me the new life will move as the water moves.  seems to me I water 
more to keep the soil food web alive than to water the trees.  When 
ever i think the soil life needs water i water.  I keep in mind i 
don't want to drown the soil life so no sitting water and i don't 
want it to dry out to dry. 

Thanxs
