RE: [compost_tea] Re: ReMIKE BOSCO



Would it work?  put a loose fitting ( leave room for air ) iron rod in the soaker hose, bend the rod to shape and let it sink the hose .  Bob.

Mike,

Can you tell us how you secured the soaker hose to the bottom of the 55
gallon drum?  I have tried this system, but always have trouble with
getting the soaker hose to stay on the bottom.  FYI - No SFI test
results yet.

"Fittings to connect the soaker hose to the compressor while the
soaker hose is in the bottom of the drum."

---Mike, ( no pointing fingers) I'm going to try this method cause I
