[compost_tea] Re: Rock Dust
Hi Jeff,
The clay powders I use do not just provide surface area but also
serve as a food source for microbes for ACT and EM fermentations.
BTW Ted: the same recipe works just fine as a soil soak. That's all
I used last season.
They are pyrophyllite, bentonite (azomite), soft rock phosphate. I
believe they are so effective because of the high silicate content.
I've said this too many times now so I'll shut up.
If Steve D. feels up to it he may contribute more knowledge
concerning this than I can.
Cheers,
Titel
