Can I apply compost tea thru my drip lines with gravity feed? Does the compost tea leave a film inside my drip lines if I can do it that way?

I've tried this with limited success. I found the filter severely limited the gravity feed flow. I've gone back to applying my compost tea with a pump and hose for drenching and a sprayer for foliage feeding.

id think eventually the drip line would clog up. would not take long either.

You will also have issues with bio-film buildup in the drip line that could cause anaerobic slime to grow over time. I would recommend not using drip lines unless you're doing a lot of flushing.
