RE: [compost_tea] Compost tea brewers



How much tea are you thinking you need? How are you considering using the tea?

 

Jeff is correct when he refers to gallons per acre. Many of use tea at 1:1 to 1:5 ratios depending on how much tea we are trying to apply. I use ½ gallon per 1000 square feet and often 2-5 gallons of concentrate per tree with other additives.

 

It would be helpful if you described what your goals and current or proposed usages are.

Hi I'm a newbie to this.  Could anyone help with:

1.  I live in Canada and these machines are very expensive (it seems!)
My local feed store says they are not complicated and they can sell me
the components to make a 100 gallon model for about half the price.  Is
that feasible or is some special technology  or design required?

2.  I have been reading as much as I can on the net.   Some sites talk
of diluting the CT by 1:10, others speak of using it undiluted.  Is
there a right answer?

3.  How important are additives if one has a rich compost or access to a
forest floor?

Thanks
