How do you make detritus for your triops?

i read on the mytriop website that all you have to do is soak some dead leaves or hay in a pond, another tank or aquarium or some rain water so it soaks up all the algal and protozoan cysts and leave it soak for a few hours (i let mine set for a day or 2 then dry it out with the sun) one that has done break up/crumble ur dry, dead plant matter and if you want yoou can put in tea bags or leave it normally and put in a jar of water that is exposed to sunlight and let the water sit for a few days then add your jar contents (including the bag) into your triop tank along with 0.5L of distilled,pure or rain water and hopefully it should work.
