Compost Tea Brew Bag?

[danielbae]

First, I never brewed a tea before, Do you use a compost tea brew bag? Im worried that if I brew a tea in the big bucket where I later run the pump running for automatic watering, everything will be clogged Or do you usually brew in another bucket? Also very interested in your receipes if you want to share!

Never used a bag. Don't see any need. Use a separate bucket and some air stones instead of pumping water for airation.

I don't get fancy, a handful of soil, a tablespoon of molasses, some earth worm castings and some shit called vita-alive that's just a bunch of amendments for tea. Two days of airation.

sounds like good to start. Do you have to replace these air stones everytime?

No. I throw them back in my straight water res when the tea is done so they don't dry out covered in tea goo. Been using the same air stones forever.

I have a special organic recipe for ya!! Use RO water or completely chlorine free water this is a major step. Use 8Tbs of URB and 2 Scoops of easy weed and 3tbs of grandma's molasses. Brew that for like 30 min to and HR. Then mix together separately 2 cups of earthworm casting and 1/2 cup of bros flower mix good put in in a sock clip on to your bucket and brew for 8HRs. Now use this during flower every two weeks at full concentration. Just a fruit for thought and figured I'd give you a good recipe. I only use urb and sea weed extract for my grow nothing else fully organic grow.

No need to replace them if you get good ones. I just clean mine good with hot water after each batch, and occasionally will boil them to really clean them up. Then they are like new again. I also don't use a bag and I removed the little filter in my pump so nothing gets filtered out. I use EWC or vermicompost that doesn't have bark and shit in it though usually. If I want to add compost with wood and crap like that I will put the filter back in. I'm not too worried if I ever kill a $10 or $20 pump, but so far they don't seem to mind at all. Here's a pic of the stones I use.
