Re: [compost_tea] Filtering ACT



Alex - My problems from clogging have all come from adding  sugar which then grows mats of bacteria.  I use a paint filter (the bag type that you place over the can) and that has been working well.  I often use vermicompost and the fines do go through the extractor bag but it hasn't been a big problem.

would like to know how you all filter  ACT in such a fashion that it doesn't clot the spraying nozzle... if I filter it with cloth (fine mesh), it takes ages, and if I enlarge the mesh (such as four layers of 50% shadow mesh), it sods the sprayer's filter with mud...
perhaps it is because I'm using finely sieved vermicompost, instead of coarse compost?
 
insights welcome...
