Jason,
If you have access to a microscope, you may
very well want to take a look at your non-compost tea. You very well may
have protozoa growing in it and it may make a great protozoa stew!
Some of the protozoa you can just barely see with
the naked eye if you don't have a microscope. I would love to know what you find
if you do!
For those not familiar with the topic, it is
possible to grow protozoa and release them either in teas or after teas have
been applied. I liken the bacteria and fungi as "fertilizer bags"
and the protozoa and nematodes as the "fertilizer spreaders." Doc E (and
correct me if I am wrong!) has mentioned that it takes two or three weeks
before the protozoa in the soil
wake up to the fact that there is an increased food
supply. Adding protozoa should speed up this response time, I
believe.
Cheers,
jeff L
