Matt,
I have found using a liquid fish emulsion added to the CT will drop the foam
immediately and last for say 4 hours till the microbes eat up the E fish.
you do not need much, as it will drop the DO if you use too much.

> Hey Everyone,

> Does anyone know if using peanut oil is a bad idea for reducing foam in
compost tea? I know Olive and Canola can be antibacterial, but what about
peanut? I am trying to stay away from corn or soy (GMO issues, and organic
is too expensive). Any advice is appreciated.
