hey group

the urban community cityfarm i work on is only 3000m2 and I am trying to
either buy or make a brewer that would cover this area.

I recently bought the compost brewers manual/soil biology primer, just got
them yesterday. In the brewers manual Elaine suggests 50-150L per hec, so Im
thinking we would only really need a 20-50L brewer.

The KIS 5-Gallon Compost Tea Brewer has been recommended but does not have a
water heater, i thought this was important?

As the farm does not have a lot of money, Im considering making one out of
aquarium parts, though this does not seem to be recommended in the brewers
manual. Also testing a home made brewer could become more expensive than
buying a proven brand.

I really want to get started on this but am feeling very confused on which
is the cheapest way to go for a community group while still maintaining
quality control.

any advice?
