Introduction
CT are produced from composted organic matter by re-circulating water through loose compost bag brewed over or within a tank with the intention of maintaining aerobic conditions . Primary goal of CT production is to increase the microbial populations. This can be achieved by providing nutrient additives for the microbes at the beginning or during the brewing process . According to Ingham , the final balance between bacteria and fungi in CT can be predetermined by selecting an appropriate compost and fermentation nutrients.
