Re: [compost_tea] Testing tea has to be done properly.....



Jeff-
My thoughts exactly. If you take the bottom samples as
is being recommended to some lately, what is the rest
of the tea good for? This is a question I was going to
ask SFI. What is the weight of fungus inside a tea
brew? Dont they float or stay suspended in water? If
not then we all are not getting the max potential of
tea. Is a recirculator mandatory for tea transport
machines. If so then back to the drawing boards.RayG
