seems significant that in the transition from chemically supported growing practices to a biological approach,
in which the chemical practices have been discontinued, the soil food web analyzed and the twelve step program implemented (Bacteria, Bacterial Foods, Fungi, Fungal Fooods, Myco F, Protazoa <Flagellates, Amoebae, Ciliates>, Nematodes <Bacterial Feeding, Fungal Feeding & Predatory>, Earthworms & Microarthropods) to bring the system into appropriate balance
that in cases not seeing remarkable improvements in growth
the status quo is being maintained?
the system is not getting worse from lack of chem inputs?
seems that this alone points to the fact that the bio approach is working, in its ability to sustain the system with only biological inputs & microbial foods.
give it a chance
it may be ramping up, remediating toxicity
good to hear of those who have taken baseline tests and follow up with consecutive tests to document the trend in biology. I would appreciate if folks would be inclined to kindly post (or send direct) this data; photographs are cool.

ps parents often are unaware of the short term physical development of their own children due to the frequencey of observation; dramatic change is often only obvious over the coarse of greater legnths of time.
we know they are gonna grow. how well? how strong? we are what we eat... good genes is a great start, that information needs the resources to implement the plan
