Re: [compost_tea] Re: Holding time for tea
You have 4 to 6 hours before the anaerobic conditions that might occur do a total kill job on your fungi.  So, go ahead and add the foliar nutrients to the tea, as long as they are things like kelp and fish.
OK?

Maybe this is already clear to everyone else, but I'm still uncertain 
about adding foliar nutrients to a tea that is going to be
immediately 
sprayed out.
I would like to combine fish and kelp foliar feeding with the tea 
being applied.  If I add fish at 1:100 in the tank, and kelp at
1:200, 
will the oxygen demand kill off a significant amount of my tea in the 
30-60 minutes it takes me to expel that tea from my sprayer?  
A possible factor is that lately I've gone to spraying straight tea 
(other than a small % of water used to dilute the yucca that is added 
to the tea in the spray tank). Thus I have a very "concentrated"
bunch 
of organisms in that spray tank, ready to consume the fish/kelp when 
it's added...
It sure would be nice if we could eliminate the extra trip around to 
foliar the nutrients separately from the tea, but not if the tea gets 
murdered in the process--Glen
