Hey now our bubble snake has just arrived along with a commercial air pump and mesh bags. Ready to start brewing up some tea. Will be updating with fresh pics of all this cool new equipment we have and then plan on doing a run of fungal tea just to start the party rockin.
If ya didn’t know this is a stock photo of a Bubblesnake compost tea brewer. Made in the USA by TeaLab; sold on EBay and elsewhere online by Ron Wallace of WowWallace organics who btw is a 2-time Guinness World Record holder for the world’s heaviest Pumpkin. Seems legit…
Just trying to grow some nice big juicy buds here and hoping this brewer will help with growing veggies this summer. It works like this:
A mesh brew bag is attached to a metal ring that suspends it right above the air holes. The hose is somewhat flexible and sectioned for easy cleaning. The snake sort of stands up coiled to strike like a fucking cobra inside a 5gal bucket. Bad-ass. Appears already to be much easier to clean than an airstone. Just a quick heavy rinse and it’s ready to store away for next time.
You also need a fairly powerful pump to push the volume of air needed to make a gazoodle of bubbles. The main part of the hose assembly is a stout 3/4” diameter. Ron recommends a 900 GPH pump that connects to a 3/8” air tube. Should be very bubblywubbly.
You can toss your compost in the bucket loose but for easy cleanup I prefer a mesh bag. In the past old panty hose would do for a compost tea bag but sturdy nylon mesh bags are infinitely reusable. Easy AF to dump the contents into my recycling soil once fully spent. You can find mesh compost tea bags but some sellers try to charge more for them than they should. Look for nut milk bags at a few dollars each; same thing for a bit lower cost. Stay tuned for unboxing pics coming soon
