Can I use this for making compost tea?

Do not use this pump for making worm tea in a 5-gallon bucket. The Tetra 10-gallon pump is simply not strong enough. After this 10-gallon pump failed in a 5-gallon bucket, I tested it in a 1-gallon pitcher and it was just barely ok.

Strangely its strong enough to do that. You will need a splitter though, I would suggest getting its from petco its cheaper there. Its also called gang valve

I'm pretty sure you could use the grounds in a compost. Try burying a used pod in a little soil and see what happens. The paper doesn't seem coated, so I'm sure it would degrade. My City wouldn't take them with normal recycling, unless all the grounds were removed first.

I have not tried this, but I do not see why not, so long as the tea is not loose or become loose in the process.

You can, but I have invested in the tiny filters to keep the brew from having bits of leaves. I am sure Amazon carries these. I got mine at Brd, Bath and Beyond. I love my iced tea pot.

I never try it but I don't think it is built for tea, also it will be too much work to make a cup of tea.

yes, I have used it to make my own Earl Grey for over 10 years. Put on loose tea not in your tea cup or it will probably be too strong.

All of my reseach shows yes, however I used it as a benefical bacterial to brew and multiply in a compost tea. It seems to have done well in that medium. It is more ideally designed for hydro setups.

I dont see why not. I mix it in with all my potted plants! Just mix it with your regular potting soil. The amazing thing with this chicken poop compost is, it doesn't smell and is quite lovely.

I think you can make tea with it but I am not sure about the expiration date since I bought this for a family friend who got hurt and having trouble healing.

EACH SPRING before planting, evenly broadcast and mix into soil l lb SEA-90 per 100 sq ft. To make a COMPOST TEA, Mix 1 lb SEA-90 per 100 gallons or 1 tsp per gallon during the brewing process to improve microbial populations. For POTTING SOIL, Use 1 tbsp SEA-90 mixed into 24 lbs soil mix. For GROWING PLANTS, make a Nutrient-Rich Foliar Spray by mixing 1 tsp SEA-90 per gallon clean water (large scale applications mix 1 lb SEA-90 per 100 gallons). This solution can be misted or sprayed on plant leaves once each day.

it should work really well if you're trying to get rid of the powder. if the tea leaves are whole, it will be fine. if they're crushed, it won't be good. you're best off putting a coffee filter in the strainer and brewing the tea that way.

Yes, but make note not to keep your compost too wet. I usually add water until I start to see water coming from the bottom, then stop. It you compost looks like mush then taper back on the water. I would also suggest a compost starter to help it along.

you could, but i wouldn't recommend it as it is a bit expensive for that purpose. but it is one of the best compostable waste bags i've found... very strong and excellent for wet compostables.

Yes you may. I put hot tea and added water to dilute. Let it cool then put into refrigerator. Make sure the the spout handle is far enough back from the door when closed or you will have a lot of liquid dumped.

There is an option for that, but I haven't used it. Honestly, we use it to make Tevana tea's so it's not 100% accurate. It's always a few degrees over and we end up having to let it sit for a minute before we pour it into the tea pitcher.

I don't see why not. Just push the plunger down once you put the lid on and it will function as a tea pot. It's a wonderful piece to have!

5lb used as mulch will cover a very small area; however, if you use it to brew tea, it can be used to feed the entire garden. Do a search for aerobic compost tea and you will get some recipes. You can also make an anaerobic tea by just soaking in water for a week. Just do a search and you will find out how awesome kelp tea is! You can also use alfalfa, compost, guano, in your tea.
