[compost_tea] Re; Why activate the compost?
The reason you want to activate the compost/humus is to first see if there =
are adequate fungi in the soil and second to get them growing. If you can't=
get the fungi to grow with oatmeal, you probably are not going to get grea=
t fungal numbers. The fungi don't multiply in the tea, they simply grow. Ac=
tivating your compost/humus will start that process so they can continue to=
grow in the tea. The results appear to be more total fungi and more activ=
e fungi according to my tests ( and I hope those of others) so far.
The method described this morning is great: use a flat container like a see=
d tray. I suggest you keep it in the dark and keep it warm and keep it cove=
red.
Cheers,
Jeff
