Good point John, But also consider this, if I have 2000 acres to get over with tea. I brew1500 gal./day. That allows me to put 3x as much nutrients and 3x as much premature (my word for not brewing 24 hrs) tea over all my land. Now if I had 100 acres only I would of course brew 24 hours because I could get over that 100 acres a number of times during the season. I do see where maybe you have up to 10x the numbers in the tea by brewing longer may actually be better than putting out tea with low numbers Everyone has a different situation and it was a thought of ways to maybe improve the amount of not only microbes but also nutrients from the tea in a quicker time frame. Especially at the beginning of the season. Thanks to all who replied.
