Re: [compost_tea] Re: Agitation



Hi Dennis

Are you using flexible air lines that are floating to the surface?     I used 2" Schedule 40 rigid pipe.  I made a cross that sits on the bottom, with a vertical pipe going up, then a pipe to the air pump.   I drilled holes in the cross at the bottom and it boils like crazy.   One could even add more legs to the cross and get more coverage if desired.

in or near the botttom of my tank so I'm getting less mixing than I'd
like.  Dennis Kemnitz
