That is a good point.  I have low OM in my soil and have been adding 
Saponyn and soluble Humic Acid to my tea soil drench just before 
spraying BUT realize that I have not been using near enough HA to 
feed the organisms.  I appears that I should be using about 1.5-2 
pounds of Terra Vita SP-85 per acre with each spray. I have been 
using about 2 ounces per acre. 

Does anybody add more organism foods to their soil drench CT?  If so 
what types, amounts & results?  Dan
