Micronization does destroy microbial life in the study
I have seen. It also decreases nitrogen content but one
have to see the picture as a whole and not only pay attention to
numbers and figures.
Today with micronized compost ( even though with reduced life and
reduced nitrogen) I can use it in my drip irrigation system
with incredible results. With regular compost even though with
a higher microbial life and higher N content I could never
use it thru the irrigation system. You loose from one side so you can
gain from the other.
I still believe that Micronized Compost is a terrific product that allow
you to make several things that regular compost can´t.
But that was not my original question. The original question was :
Have any of you used Micronized Compost to make Compost tea ?
That can be added directly in the tank. No need for using a bag.
You can use say Micronized compost even as a food source directly
in the tank and then use regular compost for microbial life if you will.

I stand by my statement.
