The compost tea provides the inoculum of fungi, since that is most often what
is lost with conventional tillage and chemical applications.

And we need to add fungal foods with the tea as well, because once in the
soil, or on your leaf surfaces, the fungi need food to survive and grow. As
long as both things connect, then we'll see the desired increases in soil
structure, disease protection, nutrient retention.

turn out." -- Vaclav Havel, former President of the Czech Republic
