Re: [compost_tea] Re: Alaska compost tea
You need a decent air pump, and a way to get reasonably coarse air bubbles
into the tea brew. Please be aware that fine air bubbles chew up the
organisms in the tea.
The measure of oxygen you want to use is oxygen concentration, not percent
dissolve oxygen. You need above 6 ppm, or 6 mg O2 per L. At sea level, at
72 F, the typical oxygen concentration is around 9 to 9.5 mg oxygen per L.
If you are reading dissolved oxygen versus dissolved carbon dioxide, you
should have around 80 to 95% DO.
If you are reading percent oxygen, as part of atmospheric oxygen, oxygen
should be in the 16 to 21% range.
Depends on how you are measuring, so let me know what scale you are using.
