Hi,
Noticed the comment on Cannards compost tea injection....he is applying the
tea thu a irrigation system with rain bird (overhead) sprinklers...not drip.
I have been running compost tea into drip systems....with very minimal
screening and then we flush the drip system each time. Time consuming. Most
any type of protein, high phosphate or dense microbial materials in the drip
system will clog it, even after fine filtering, due to the growth of "slime"
in the tubing. The tubing is dark, often warm from solar heat and grows
microorganism very well.
So flushing has been our burden.
What size of mesh can fungal compost tea be run tru, pre injection, to limit
clogging but retain fungal hyphal health?
