compost tea as bioremediation?

topic posted Thu, February 28, 2008 - 12:17 PM by  matt
i have just moved to a coffee farm that is in transition to organics.
there are four or five nice pump tanks here for spray application,
as well as a large tank with an electric pump.
the only thing is that these previously had roundup in them.
as early as two months ago.
i dont want to have to discard these tanks, but i will if i have to.
i have run two full cycles of EM through the larger one, and
am going to make compost tea as a final flush.
does anyone know if this is enough for safe use after that?
any suggestions?

thanks

    Getting organic certification may have its own rules about these things that you need to check out. Also, I don't know what EM is. However, gyphosate (roundup) is very water soluble and shouldn't cling to tanks.
