One of your articles states compost tea needs to be infused in water for a week or more. Yet, compost tea bag supplier, Systane,, states overnight. Which is correct?

It seems to be a matter of opinion. Here is an article that states 3 days and it is using the bubbler.

If you are using purchased tea bags you should follow their directions. Systane is also using a bubbler.

The Gardening Know How article does not use the bubbler so it will take longer.
