Why do you need a large size tea maker? Wouldn't the 5 gal do?

Make tea once a week, apply to the section of pasture that needs the tea.
Use the hay bale approach.

Tea does allow nutrients, but you need to do this as supplement in form of
fish hydrolysate or other organic fertilizer additions. The biology then makes
sure all those nutrients stay, and work for you over and over instead of being
lost from the soil.
