Q.Question About Manure Tea
Hi there, I have had good luck making manure tea from your instructions. However, one batch (which I stored in a sealed gallon plastic water bottle) has what looks like green algae on top. Is this batch still good to use? Thanks, Becky in CA

It depends on what it is! Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. Algae would be bad, but Trichoderma would be good. It really depends on what is the microbe in question.
When in doubt, throw it out.
