Re: [compost_tea] RE: protozoa



<<Questions then :

<<<which is better hay (legume or grass) or straw (oat or wheat)
 
The type of straw doesn't matter and I have  been able to grow populations in lawn grass, hay, straw (oat, not wheat...didn't try) and "roadside grasses".   Why not use some of all of them and see if you increase the diversity
 
<<<add water
 
Don't forget to dechlorinate. I use a five gallon bucket. You can put in just a handful of hay or more, I don't think it matters too much provided you


then do aerate or make a sun tea ? which we now all know is anaerobic
 
Then aerate....here I think the fish tank pump and bubbler can be put to reuse!
 
 
Many protozoa, like paramecium of High School Biology classes, can be seen, but just, with the naked eye. Get some of the water under a microscope and you will find all sorts of things including algae, paramecium, volvox, euglena...things you diagramed in class a long time ago.
 
 
Cheers,
