Tom J is correct on the worm compost - all good worm composts contain GREAT
numbers of protoza, easily extracted into tea when using an actively aerated
CT machine.

Do not expect any good protozoa when using either Soil Soup or Growing
Solutions systems. Only if the GSI system is improved the way Hendrikus
Schraven has shown is possible can you get passable protozo extracted.

Otherwise, the EPM, KIS, AG, Sottilo, Earthwise, WormGold, Bob Norsen, Hronek
brewers (all the ones that stay aerobic during brewing), extract protozoa
from the compost, and allow them to survive, just fine in the tea. As long
as you have good protozoa numbers in the compost.
