Help with Compost Tea
I'm making some compost tea and want to be sure I'm doing this right.
I've taken a 5 gallon bucket and added two shovelfuls of compost. I've taken an old aquarium pump and run an air line to the bottom of the bucket to aerate the tea. Then filled the bucket with water. QUESTIONS: • How long does this tea have to steep? I've read everything from overnight to two weeks. • My tap water is chlorinated. Will the chlorine kill off beneficial bacteria in the compost? If so, will adding chlorine remover used for acquariums help? • Is it really necessary to have the air line plugged into a gang valve for multiple bubble streams, or will one good stream of air bubbles do the trick? Thanks for the help. -Fleemo |
