Compost Extract versus Compost Tea - What's the Difference?
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Compost extract is made by flushing water through compost for about 30 minutes to "extract" the existing micro-biology into the water. Compost tea also washes the micro-biology into the water but then the water is "brewed". This consists of adding foods for the microbes like fish oil and vigorously bubbling the water for over 24 hours. The result is a bloom of beneficial protozoa in the tea.

If you're in WI, how are you keeping the JS bioreactors from freezing over winter & going hydrophobic? Or are you? Are yoy adding red wigglers per spec after the pile cools down? (Worm death begins about 40F.) How are you keeping the worms alive?
thanks!
Do you use any aeration system when brewing your compost tea?

Yes. That’s what he means by bubbling. You need oxygen with teas
