Bill, what was it about the organic fertilizer you used that clogged your
drip system? Was it the size of the particles, or did the material (slime)
cling to the inside of the tubing and emitters? Were you using tubing with
emitters built in? If so, were they flow regulating emitters? Seems like a
dilute, somewhat filtered, manure tea would go through a drip system pretty
well.
Thanks
