Hi Walter - Elaine tells of 2 or 3 golf courses built on the sand dunes along the west coast where some compost was used on the sand, then grass seed, then CT. The roots go deep, The courses are beautiful with little or no fertilizeres and little or no irrigation. Yes the microbes are very effective and may be tougher than we know. High temps and tough soil conditions may take a while for microbes AND plants to improve. Water? They will need water but not as much as growing without the benefit of CT.. I would think of all places that would benefit from CT it would be hot dry and poor soil. It may not be instant change. Check with SFI for their experience. They do research world wide. Bob

sunlight? Do the microorganisms sprayed have a chance to endure or be
of help? Soil in these areas is usually not organically amended.

Thank you
