Can you put this tea bag in a 5 gallon hydroponic system? It is an experimental system I am using to propagate plants.

I wouldn't. Its just as easy to brew your tea in a separate 5 gal bucket, then water down the tea to the extent you want. any pumps would likely get clogged IMO

Sure, but if you just stuffed a tea bag in there it would take longer to brew. A better way might be to cut the bag open and pour the loose tea into the infuser.

Yes, I do aquaponics in mine. I have fish and plants living in it. Should be safe for food and plants.

yes. you can put the plant and the soil directly into this pot. that is exactly what I did. this is actually a self-watering pot so in order to take advantage of this feature, you would need to plant directly into the pot.

The directions on the box explain the ratios of bag to water, but unless you like your tea extra weak, use at least two tea bags per gallon! It's great tea, I enjoy knowing it doesn't have pesticides in it, and it tastes very rich.

I think you can get about 1 1/2, 5 gallon pots with this. In all honesty, I'd look for a shop that sells the larger bags for less. I pay $6.99 for this size from a gardening shop down the street. Excellent soil, just not worth the shipping if you know how to mature your own soil. If you are interested in that, Google Dragonfly Earth Medicine for some of the best home soil conditioning advice ever!

to do that you would have to cut it apart and make two tea bags. You could probably do that, but in my estimation, it just isn't worth the trouble. I would also like a smaller size, but I managed to use all of my water over the course of a week or so. Hope that helped.

Absolutely! The scoby will quickly fill up all the surface area of the liquid. If the 5 gallon jug has a small mouth, just don't fill with sugary tea beyond the larger diameter of the bottle into the neck. You'll need the bigger surface area to ferment that much liquid in a reasonable amount of time.

It probably could - there is quite a lot of holes in it - and the water could move in and out easily one would think - haven't tried mine for that - but I think it might be able to be used for that purpose. If not you always have a tea infuser - seems to me there are a lot of teas out there with fruit already part of the mixture.

The holes in the storage cone is about 1 1/2 inches long and 1/16 wide so if the leaves are bigger then tea bag leaves it might work. I still thing some of them will float through the openings.

My grow bed is 6" x 12" x 18", which is about a quarter of the volume as yours. I used 3/4ths of a bag, so I would expect yours to take about 3 of these bags.

Yes, I use mine for a self watering planter system. Drilled a hole in the bottom of five gallon bucket. Inserted 3" pot and filled with compost. Set the planter on top of gutter filled with water and planted vegetables. Works Great!

I have found Bu's Brew to be versatile, but not by using half a tea bag. For example, I steep one tea bag in a 1/2 gallon container, then mix it with plain water when watering target plants. That has proven successful. I should add that I like Bu's Brew A LOT. The results I get with it are better than other products I've tried that were also touted as environment-friendly.

Yes, you can use it. Put the water you'll be using in a gallon jug and check the PH. My town water is 8.5 which is too high for plants. I usually add about .5 ml of PHdown to a gallon to get around 6 - 6.5 which is perfect for most plants.

Yes, you can! I tried using a tea bag, but the tea tasted weak. But good idea with the loose tea, maybe the tea will come out better.

That would depend on how strong you make your tea. It is a very large bag and the best taste I've tried. I mix it half and half with white tea.

Yes, you can. I bought them for a large 1 gallon indoor potted basil plant and it flourished with a small reused Jaeger bottle.
