Re: [compost_tea] Why buy?
If you use a compost with a good set of organisms (so you have to know the
compost has a good set of organisms, which is why we show compost results on
the SFI website, so you don't have to guess)
If you use a fairly similar tea recipe (most of the manufacturers will tell
you their general tea recipe)
then you will get very similar results from the tea you make with that tea
brewer.
Don't believe the bull that a certain tea machine maker tells you, that teas
are so different every time that it makes no sense to test. That's just
garbage from someone who makes a machine that no matter what he has done, his
machine can't make decent compost tea.
If it were true that the variability is so great, then why does anyone bother
with tea? If tea is so variable, how could you ever get a decent result?
Teas made with the same machine, same recipe, and fairly similar compost come
out remarkably similar, brew after brew. There's a great deal of
consistency, given that you understand there is some small amount of
variability.
