will this model make compost tea

I don't think it does purposely. However, I placed a mixing tub underneath it and it does drip compost tea. Rain mixes with it and you develop even more. My answer is not scientific and I don 't know how strong the tea is.

I have been very disappointed with this tumbler. I live in Va. Should have been able to make a lot of batches, but only in the dead of summer did I get a decent batch in the past year. The inside foam insulation takes up a lot of space and keeps the cold in during the winter, Going to try to remove the foam once the batch I been working (since last fall) is ready . Sturdy and easy to spin, but with taking a year for one batch, not worth the price. No compost tea. except what drains through the seams. My ground compost pile is more work, but yields more and three times as fast

Mine is a model PVHB30U and it works great. No problems whatsoever. Make tea!

I have a recipe for worm compost tea, and it includes humic acid, so I bought some of this to add to the mix.

No. This is a cast iron tea pot which is not designed for cooking. To make tea, water must be boiled separately and add to the tea pot.

That's the model I have & it works perfectly. I bought 2 pitchers so that I could make a fruit tea plus a pitcher of regular for family get-together's.

I don't know, but it's worth a try. My parents use one just like this to make apple cider. They put the mulling spices at the top and put apple cider in it instead of water, and it works well. I would guess it would work with tea.

The short answer is YES ! It makes great tea either from a bag or loose leaf, or both. we have one that we use only for tea. Have used these for tea for 10 years. works great.

Living in California, can't help you about rain water., but do not let the compost get too wet you have to throw a lot of it away. I find that material of tea bags does not degrade .

I don't know, this company also has some similar pots specifically for tea if that's what you need.

Yes, it will grow to fit the container. You won't have enough starter tea for 5 gallons. I would brew one gallon to start. Once you have a gallon of brewed tea, you can increase to up to 5 gallons.

The compost tea does drain from the slats, to the base automatically, so make sure you have them lined up. If you have a lot of wet material in your composter, or rain, it could be why you have liquid coming out. If it's been in there awhile, it could be compost tea. The best advice I could give would be to wipe it off, and make sure that you always leave your composter (after you turn it) lined up with the base so that it can drain.

Not sure but I think it might. I'm assuming you would need to let it steep longer than tea.

I do not think that would work for compost, I discovered after purchase the cart needs to be weighed down to make the aerator dig into the ground.

Definitely. In fact you realize you usually use too much tea with traditional teapots (and waste). You can easily run a second batch. Just add half a spon on top.

As long as the tea is the same consistency as ground coffee it will work just fine. Also, I bought the disposable paper filters to put in this unit because it seals a lot better when you screw the lid on!

Hi Elizabeth...not a dumb question at all! These cups won't compost in a home environment, unless you shred each cup into tiny pieces. Otherwise, you can take them to a commercial compositor. http://www.findacomposter.com Good luck ;)
