Since you have been organic for awhile I don't think you are going to see any benefit to compost tea. At least I didn't. Once you get all the microbe populations churning in the soil, adding more microbes from compost tea doesn't help. ...and especially with tea brewed in the summer heat. Water above 75 degrees F barely holds enough oxygen to support life. Since the entire purpose of compost tea is to multiply the number of microbes in the tea, warm tea is a waste of effort.

But I like your idea of adding nutrients through the sprinkler. The other problem with compost tea is getting it filtered enough to not clog the nozzles.

I suppose I should have mentioned something before too.... :P

We actually recently moved to a new house, so the entire organic process will need to start over for me again.

And I do understand that eventually organically we get to a point where the benefits of compost tea are certainly limited if not non-existant. However, I'm also thinking that it would be an interesting way to apply fertilizer too. Hydroponics apply fertilizer in the same manner, sort of.... where they will take straight granulated fertilizer and mix it proportionately with the irrigation. At least, that is what I've seen in some large scale tomato/cucumber operations where the seeds are planted into volcanic ash blocks.....

It just seems to me that the irrigation system could be used so much more efficiently than just to spray with water.... Compost tea, liquid organic fertilizers, etc. Just a thought....

What I'd really like to do is get more background in the ideas that the University of Colorado has in the system they are using. Even though it's a robust operation, I think it can be tweaked for the home lawn enthusist.....

Check this link. It will have what you need.

Here is a link that might be useful: Fertilizer systems

Wow, that is almost actually is exactly what I was looking for....

I'm surprised a little that something like this isn't something that is standard in normal irrigation systems..... just seems to logical to not have it everywhere....
Thanks Neilaz!

Hello srgunmas, I came across this searching for compost tea irrigation. Did you get your system up and running and do you use fertilizer tea in the injection system? I was thinking the exact same thing to distribute fertilizer through the sprinker system.
