RE: [compost_tea] Soaker hose fittings/insert



Chad,

Yeah I always thought copper was a no no for brewing compost tea.  You
say you put it in for trace benefits?  How do you teas turn out, good -
bad -untested?  

Thanks everyone who suggested ideas.

Matt

I've had the need to do something similar for a slightly different 
application.   Go to the electrical supply/wire section of your local 
hardware store and get a length of bare copper grounding wire (heavy 
stuff about 3/16" in diameter).  Run this through your soaker hose 
and you can then bend it around to conform to any shape you want.  
Think Gumby!

I would guess that the microbes would also benefit from the trace 
amounts of copper that such a setup would make available.  In my five 
gallon setup, I have a copper elbow fitting tied to a piece of string 
that I toss in the CT as it's brewing.
