Re: [compost_tea] probiotics
Clay, the point is that in order to have a healthy soil foodweb, of which c=
ompost tea inoculations of microbes is a part, you need diversity. The prod=
uct being sold may, indeed, do some good. However, it cannot match the dive=
rsity and numbers in good tea. With diversity, you beat the odds down that =
a group of fungi or bacteria are going to beat the others to the exudates o=
n the leaf or root surfaces. Out competition of food resources, space, air.=
...these are all increased with diversity. The more and the more different,=
the better!
Cheers from Alaska,
