Hi Nick -

You can spray tea over septic systems, but there have been no studies that I
am aware of assessing what happens. Tea should improve aeration into the
soil, and improve break down of any solids, improve immobilization of
nutrients from the septic system. In lagoons, as long as aeration is
maintained, we get complete break-down of the sludge ,instead of the partial
decomposition that occurs in anaerobic conditions. So, tea could start
things towards much better conditions.
