Your thoughts on Compost Tea (CT) at transplant

You guys got me to start my first batch of CT today. I left the 5 gallons of tap water overnight to release the chlorine. After dumping in a quart of compost and a tablespoon of Molasses, I started the bubbler this morning. I don't know why you guys bother with all the extra air for small 5 gallon batches, this Academy bubbler works great and the CT never stinks.

All I had to do is add a weight to the bubble so that it went to the bottom. 2 D batteries for 2 24 hour brewing periods before new batteries are required. Might buy a set of rechargeable batteries for the next run.
