I want to say the 220 blue bag. The 'working' bag.

I was going to try a use bubble bag on some compost tea. Finding out its the blue bag was as far as I got.

When I make teas I don't use a bag. I just throw it all in and bubble it. I don't strain anything. I just pump it to my plants with a hose. I took out the pump filter so it's kinda like a tea and a top dressing in one.

I could see how a bag would be nice with some stuff though.

With what they charge for bubble bags/kits I'd think there's cheaper options. I've often see people saying to use paint strainers that go on a 5 gal bucket. That way you can just dump things in and bubble away like Padawan is saying but you can then filter the end product if you need to run it through something intolerant to solids (i.e. a drip/feed line).

A couple 6” air stones in a five gallon pail. No bag.

Local paint store has 5 gallon mesh bags meant for straining paint. Works great and you can reuse them.
