Re: [compost_tea] Protozoa guestion
It is not likely that you will have enough protozoa to cancel out the bacte=
ria. If my figures are correct, a single protozoa eats 3 to 4OOO bacteria =
a day. A single gram of soil has between 600 milion to 1 billion bacteria a=
nd if the conditions are good, they are breeding all the time! You will get=
good nutrient cycling and bacterial populations will be kept in check some=
what, but you don't have to worry about running out of bacteria!
Cheers,
