Oops - those results were from Ross Orner's
vermi-compost -- not from his CT (I thought everyone read all
the postings to this group and would have remembered those great results
:-) )
Jeff replied:- " It seems
logical that the answer would depend on a few things: Temperature, the amount of
o2 in the bottle, the amount of nutrients left and the amount of o2 your machine
put into the tea."
OK - so you can't get numbers like that in CT? But
what if you could make a tea with great numbers and had 7ppm of dissolved
oxygen at the finish. Then you half fill a 2 litre container and store it
for two days @ 75 F, how long before it goes off if there are no nutrients
left?
My last two batches didn't go off after two days
in a bottle and only slightly off after 3 days, so logically (??) I reckon
my CT wasn't a very good brew. Don't ask me to test my teas again and
again . . . during the past 12 months I've spent more on testing CT's than on
fertilisers.
Jeff asked:- "O.K.
Scott... now what were the tea numbers you made out of that fantastic
compost?"
Could Ross answer that question if he has made CT
using this form of compost?
