Let me know when your event is!

I don't know what is in Paul's stuff nor what he uses as compost.

I had lots of trouble getting high fungal numbers in my tests. Kelp and Hum=
ics helped. Lowering and then eliminating molasses helped (remember I am us=
ing AH). However, feeding the compost baby oatmeal five days or so ahead m=
ade tremendous differences.....all the tests I have posted use Activation. =
  I put about three or four tablespoons of baby oatmeal per cup of AH and o=
ne tablespoon of water into a closable container that I them put on a seed =
germinating mat. In two or three days the white fungal threads are very vis=
ible.

I have my own nutrient pack which I don't sell. May be I should!

I use a bob, bitti, KIS and have 'clients' that use homemade as well as the=
 above.

I can post more tests, but will have to wait until after the ICTC event.

Cheers,
