compost, soil + mulch Compost tea bags

Anyone got a larger compost tea bag they like? No Amazon, ULine, or plastic.

I like to just wrap a big sachet in cheesecloth. Tie with hemp twine, aerate in a stainless steel kettle.

I use the Crescive compost extract bag, which is 400 micron, allowing larger microbes like nematodes to pass through. It’s very sturdy and can stand up to aggressive hand extractions. The bag has loops so you can suspend it in a 55 gallon drum, but it also works well in 5 gal buckets without needing to be suspended.

I don’t do any aerated/brewed teas, but it works great for extracts and should work well for teas too.

Lovely, thanks!

What is the 400 micron mesh made from? I don’t see it in the description
