Sensational Solutions - Micronized Compost Tea - 25 lbs

Who Should Be Weighing Micronized Compost Tea 25 lb Start with the number, because it decides the answer. Brewed at one tablespoon per gallon, this bag makes roughly 1,100 gallons of aerated concentrate. Diluted out at the published ratios, that is tens of thousands of gallons of finished tea. A single room will not see the bottom of it inside a year. What will is a nursery brewing weekly, a multi-room site on a shared mixing station, or a farm running drenches across open ground. Below that scale the 10 lb bag is the more honest call. We would rather say so now than have a caked sack in your corner next spring. The blend and the grind are identical either way. Only the weight and the cost per pound move. Handling a Bulk Compost Tea Powder on Site At this weight the teaspoon stops being a unit anyone can work with. Weigh a batch against the tank it is going into and write the number on the wall. Slurry the weighed powder in warm water before it meets moving water, since dry powder tipped into a full tank mostly rides on the surface. Aeration still runs one to three days, and a warm bucket finishes ahead of a cold one. Storage is the other half of the job. Sealed, cool and dry keeps the biology in good order, and a pallet or a shelf keeps the sack off concrete that sweats. Split the bag into smaller sealed containers if it will be opened often. Every opening in a humid room costs you a little condition. Key Features Brews about 1,100 gallons: Of aerated concentrate at one tablespoon per gallon, before dilution. Tens of thousands diluted: At the published 1:30 to 1:50 ratios once the brew has finished. Facility scale, honestly: A nursery, a multi-room site or a farm. One room should take the 10 lb. Weigh against the tank: A teaspoon is not a workable unit once a batch feeds a whole site. Slurry in warm water first: Powder tipped dry into a full tank rides on the surface instead of mixing. Same 1 to 3 day brew: Aeration time does not change with the bag. Warm water finishes sooner. Sealed, cool and off concrete: A floor that sweats will find its way into an open sack over a season. Split it if opened often: Smaller sealed containers cost the bag less condition in a humid room. Same blend, lower cost per pound: Identical composition and grind to every other size in the range.
