Re: [compost_tea] organism feeders, was Soil Foods was SFI Soil Test Results-...



Tom J is correct on the worm compost - all good worm composts contain GREAT numbers of protoza, easily extracted into tea when using an actively aerated CT machine.

Do not expect any good protozoa when using either Soil Soup or Growing Solutions systems.  Only if the GSI system is improved the way Hendrikus Schraven has shown is possible can you get passable protozo extracted.

Otherwise, the EPM, KIS, AG, Sottilo, Earthwise, WormGold, Bob Norsen, Hronek brewers (all the ones that stay aerobic during brewing), extract protozoa from the compost, and allow them to survive, just fine in the tea.  As long as you have good protozoa numbers in the compost.
