Bill,
I have been injecting various organic materials into my drip system for years. Of course, I am not trying to suck up globs of liquid fish. I dilute it substantially with water in a 5 gal bucket. Same for soluble kelp, molasses, yucca. Compost tea is pre-filtered. The whole drip system is protected by a large 150 mesh Y filter which seems to do a good job of protecting emitters. I have heard, tho, that some inline emitters (like T-Tape) have very small openings and hence be more problematic. I inject using a side tap on the intake of my jet pump. A small ball valve allows some control of the rate.

Thanks for your response. I was a little concerned of something like that.
But I'd like to hear from others as well. Any different perspectives?
