RE: [compost_tea] Re: Fruit Club Update



Dave,

 

There was air in the compost tea the entire time.

Air is running until the last drop leaves the tank. Paul Sachs

also uses a BobOLator and has had superior test results

from SFI. I was adapting Paul’s methods from his North Country

Organics site where he lists his compost tea data.  Take a look

at the hours of his various tests:

Judi - I'm interested to hear that you brew for 12 hours without aeration.  I've heard this technique somewhere before on compost_tea.  Why don't you aerate the whole 18 hours?  I tried waiting myself but the 5 gallon brew went anaerobic in less than 6 hours, though the garage was a warm 85*F.  I had added vermicompost, molasses and fish hydrolysate.  Is your tea mixture not going anaerobic or do you see a benefit from the technique?
