Now that most of the compost tea & sludge are contained, I've showered, and the laundry is running, I can reflect on what went wrong this morning.
In a nutshell, all of it. All of the things I thought might go wrong when trying to strain 20 gallons of compost tea by myself, in my PJs, after a near all-nighter finishing a report, did in fact go wrong.
Did I learn any lessons? Probably not.
Do my veggies appreciate my efforts? They damn well better!

This is my standard modus operedi, don't worry. Making liquid feed is sooooo smelly... I don't even bother straining it, just fish out all the comfrey and stick it on the heap then fill up the bottles. I do wear rubber gloves though. And all the flies in the neighbourhood have a party.
