Merger of microbial tea (all types) and aquaponics/hydroponics technologies:

Has anyone seriously considered using emerging technology derived from
the diverse world of microbial tea brewing (all types from EM, IM,
24hour, ACT, AACT, etc.) in aquaponics and hydroponics.

Toby and others asserted that far greater populations of beneficial
microorganisms can be generated more rapidly in water than in soil.

Can these teas or liquid fertilizers be easily and safely used, without
going anaerobic or putrefactive, in a hydroponic food crop production
system?

Can such a system, the tea brewer and the crop growing equipment, less
greenhouse, be constructed affordably on "on the cheap" for homeowner use?
